A member asked:
When a varicocele vein is embolized, can the same vein below the embolization coil continue to try to pass blood back to the heart? can this cause the vein to remain engorged and for how long?

Varicocele: In general, the closer to the testicle that a varicocele procedure is performed, the greater chance for success. Embolization may be minimally invasive but it has a higher rate of recurrence than other techniques. If you are not satisfied with the result, I would consult a urologist who performs subinguinal varicocelectomy using a surgical microscope.
