Varicocele & Male Fertility

Understanding One of the Leading Causes of Low Sperm Count

A varicocele is one of the most common—and treatable—causes of male infertility. It affects up to 15% of all men and is found in about 40% of men experiencing difficulty conceiving. At Best Life Fertility Centre, we provide specialized diagnostics and treatment options to restore sperm health and improve fertility outcomes. Our expert-led Varicocele Treatment in Dubai is designed to effectively address this condition and support your path to parenthood.

What Is a Varicocele?

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum (similar to varicose veins in the legs). These veins help regulate temperature and blood flow around the testes. When they become enlarged, it can raise the testicular temperature and reduce sperm production and quality.

How Varicocele Affects Fertility

A varicocele can:

Decrease sperm count
Lower sperm motility (movement)
Impair sperm shape (morphology)
Cause DNA damage in sperm
Lead to testicular discomfort or pain
Reduce testosterone levels in some men

Many men with a varicocele are unaware they have it until a fertility evaluation is done.

Diagnosing Varicocele

At Best Life Fertility Centre, we perform:

A complete male fertility work-up ensures that we not only detect the condition but also understand its impact on your reproductive health.

Treatment Options for Varicocele

If a varicocele is affecting your sperm quality or causing pain, treatment can significantly improve fertility. Options include:

Varicocelectomy

A minimally invasive surgical procedure to repair or tie off the enlarged veins. It improves sperm parameters in many men and may enhance the chances of natural conception or IVF success.

Sperm Retrieval + IVF/ICSI

In cases where sperm quality remains poor or natural conception is delayed, we may retrieve sperm directly and use advanced assisted reproductive technologies (such as ICSI) to fertilize the egg.

Hormonal and Lifestyle Support

In some mild cases, hormonal therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and supplements may help counteract the effects of varicocele without surgery.
