Microsurgery & hormones

Hormone assessment & varicocele microsurgery

This pathway combines a full hormonal and andrological assessment (testosterone, fertility markers and semen analysis) with treatment of the cause. Treatment may include microsurgical varicocelectomy, which ties off enlarged veins in the scrotum and can improve semen parameters and support testosterone levels. Assessment and treatment of premature ejaculation are also included.

Common questions

Why microsurgery for varicocele?
Using an operating microscope allows the surgeon to preserve arteries and lymphatic vessels while tying off the enlarged veins. This is associated with lower complication and recurrence rates than some other techniques.
Can I start with tests only?
Yes. Many men begin with a hormonal and fertility assessment. You then decide on any treatment once you have the results and the specialist's advice.
