​3. WHAT ARE MY TREATMENT OPTIONS?

Is there a 100% cure for varicocele?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. There is no 100% cure for varicocele at this time.
​None of the following is a 100% cure: Surgery, embolization, supplements, cure kits, and natural treatments. But just because there is no 100% cure does not mean that you should do nothing. There are many effective treatment options for reducing varicocele swelling, preventing varicocele progression, completely curing pain and restoring fertility. See natural treatment options bellow for more info.

Are varicocele surgery or embolization effective for varicocele treatment? 
Before you even consider surgery as an option, the real question is: Are there safer and more effective treatment options? And the answer is: Yes! Therefore, you should not be considering surgery as a first-line treatment for varicocele.
Is surgery effective? The answer is no. It may be effective as an aesthetic procedure, however, it does not lead to significant improvement in pregnancy rates or pain relief. Some studies have noted mild improvements in testosterone production.

Can natural treatments help me?
Since you are here, you probably know by now that I am the leader of the varicocele natural treatment initiative. When I started, there was no alternative to varicocele surgery--but safe and natural alternatives need to exist. So, I have spent the last 4 years finding all of the best natural treatments for varicocele. You can read my story here. Now we have very good options. Now, we truly can begin to take control of varicocele.
Are natural treatments effective for varicocele treatment? The answer is absolutely, yes. Obviously results vary, but, with my natural treatment programs you can cure pain, restore fertility, prevent varicocele progression, and reduce varicocele swelling by 30-50% (note: only a few of my clients have noted a complete cure)*.

What medication or supplements do you recommend?
Note that there is no effective medication for varicocele treatment. However, you can temporarily reduce varicocele symptoms with NSAIDs or pain killers. See your doctor for more details. 
Supplements alone are also not very effective. So be cautious of companies trying to sell you magic pills and "cure kits", or saying "just take this one supplement and you'll be cured." It really just doesn't work that way. I have worked with over a thousand varicocele clients now and the supplements have been a very minor part of their results.
