This video explains what a varicocele is and how to treat it. I explain the different treatment options or procedures and what to expect as well as recovery. There are 4 or 5 different methods and I briefly discuss this. A varicocele can cause unwanted scrotal or testicular pain and this procedure can help this. A varicocele can also be a reason for possible infertility and is often another reason for performing a varicocelectomy.
