Varicocele Surgery "High Rate of Success"

​“High Rate of Success”: Here is something that I find absurd: Many infertile couples are advised that surgery has a “high rate of success”, and they go for it thinking that they’ll have a successful pregnancy. But, really, they’re ill-advised. It’s important to ask “success at what?” Turns out that the word “success” has absolutely nothing to do with pregnancy—it simply means that the procedure was successful at removing the veins without causing major damage. Now, imagine telling that to an infertile couple who are have committed to dish out $15,000, and undergo the surgical risks—with their main goal being successful pregnancy...

Here is the correction again: The best results for surgery state that for every 7 men who undergo surgery, only 1 addition pregnancy is attained. That’s 14%. The natural conception rate of infertile couples over a year is 34%, with varicocele surgery, these same couples will have a 37% to 38% chance of successful pregnancy. And these are the best results. Actually, much of the scientific literature is showing mixed results. It is no wonder that varicocele surgery is the most controversial topic in the field of andrology.

Just Think About It:

• You do not return to a normal/healthy baseline post-surgery
• Cutting out swollen veins is not curing them
• Surgical benefits are questionable
• Surgery is a high-risk procedure

Embolization Is Not an Alternative: Now, what about embolization? It is a great “non-surgical” “alternative”, right? Wrong. The best results for embolization state that for every 17 men who undergo embolization, only one additional pregnancy is attained. The supporting research is low quality (even lower quality than surgery). Embolization may not be effective at all. And, embolization is not a low-risk procedure. Worth the risks? I think not.

High Risk, Low Reward: Come on guys, they’re serving us an inconclusive 6-14% improvement in pregnancy rate, and we’re eating it up like it’s a cure. Surgery and embolization are not a cure. They are far from it. They are simply high-risk and costly treatment methods for varicocele.

No 100% Cure: Is there a 100% cure for varicocele? Unfortunately no, there isn’t. Surgery is not a cure. Embolization is not a cure. There is no medication for curing varicocele. No herbs. No supplements. And, not even my natural treatments or yoga. There is no 100% cure. However, my treatments are likely the most effective treatment option. I have developed my treatments from personally helping thousands of varicocele clients. Right now, my treatments are good enough to help completely cure varicocele pain, restore fertility, reduce varicocele swelling size by 40-60%, and prevent varicocele progression. That’s pretty good, considering the alternatives, and that my treatments don’t take more than a few minutes per day, and are actually good for your health.
