Varicocele and Erectile Dysfunction
Varicocele, an enlargement of veins within the scrotum, can lead to discomfort, reduced fertility, and in some cases, erectile dysfunction (ED). Treating varicocele can significantly improve these issues, as well as sperm quality and overall reproductive health. At Tanumana Scans, we offer minimally invasive treatments for varicocele, such as Varicocele Embolization. This procedure involves guiding a small catheter through a vein to block the affected veins, diverting blood flow to healthier veins. It is performed under local anesthesia, requires minimal recovery time, and offers long-term relief.
In cases where varicocele is linked to erectile dysfunction, addressing the underlying vascular issues can improve blood flow to the genital area and enhance sexual function. For ED, additional treatments such as Penile Doppler Ultrasound can help diagnose the root cause, whether it’s related to varicocele, hormonal imbalances, or vascular insufficiency.
Based on the diagnosis, our experts may recommend medications like PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., Viagra or Cialis), hormone therapy, or lifestyle changes. In some cases, advanced procedures such as penile injections, vacuum devices, or surgery may be suggested for persistent ED.
At Tanumana Scans, our team of specialists provides comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans to effectively address varicocele and erectile dysfunction, ensuring a faster recovery and improved quality of life.
