Are there ways to cure or reduce varicocele at home?

The typical spam-filled answer you will get on Quora is “buy my supplement”, “come in for embolization”, “try my fertility smoothie”, “take advil”, and “try ayurveda”.

Unfortunately none of those answers address the real root cause of varicocele.

Varicocele is caused by many risk factors.

I personally reduced my grade 3 varicocele now down to zero, and have helped many men do the same. All without surgery. What makes the difference?

Again, it’s the recognition that there are many risk factors that need to be addressed. Conversely, this also means that there is no quick fix for varicocele.

The approach that I recommend to my patients is the same as the one recommended by Daniel at Varicocele Healing.

Comprehensive? Yes.
Quick-fix? No.

The approach takes 6 months to a year for full results. Moreover, just like maintaining a healthy weight, you must maintain the right lifestyle for best results. Just like improving your diet reduces your weight over time, follow the specific improvements for varicocele will reduce your varicocele over time.

I hope you don’t misunderstand, herbal supplements actually have scientific backing for their efficacy for varicocele treatment.

There are 3 keys to a good herbal supplement for varicocele:

• I normally don’t recommend horse chestnut by itself. Specific ingredient combination is very important. Also ensure taking a too high dose of these active ingredients can actually worsen your condition. Don’t just buy a supplement because it has “more” of an ingredient. More is not always better, and often is worse.
• The most effective ingredients are: Hawthorn, Horse Chestnut, and Cayenne.
• The most underestimated supplement type is a specific type of probiotic. A root cause of varicocele is the nutcracker effect. The Nucracker effect is majorly caused by inflammation of the gut and digestive tract. The right probiotics can help gut reduce inflammation and alleviate the nutcracker effect.

Now you must look at what’s causing your varicocele. There are many risk factors for varicocele. Start with the Varicocele Risk Assessment Form to get feedback on your personal risk factors and how to correct them.

​For real home-treatment results, you must put in the effort. Again, same as weight loss. If you don’t improve your diet, change your lifestyle, and begin follow the right actions, then you won’t get results. It takes effort, but increased testicle size, rock hard erections, and zeroed varicocele is worth it.
