What is varicocele? Diagnosis and treatments

One of the most common diseases among men that makes them come to our centre is Varicocele, a condition in which the veins/varicose veins surrounding the testicle dilate and increase in thickness and fibrosity.

Between 10 and 15% of males will suffer from it in their lifetime, it can occur especially between puberty and adulthood and in 90% of cases it occurs in the left testicle.

When is it treated and how is it diagnosed?

It is not necessary to treat it except in case of discomfort and/or pain, if they cause sterility or for aesthetic reasons.

Among the andrological conditions we treat, varicocele is one of those that can be easily observed because the thickening of the veins makes them visible and palpable.

The discomfort presented by patients increases throughout the day, and decreases at times when they are at rest. There may even be cases where it is asymptomatic and not detected until fertility problems or an abnormal shape of the testicle is observed.

We can diagnose it with a physical examination, and a Duplex EchoDoppler makes it clearer; a semen study confirms whether it has caused problems in the fertility of the male.

What treatments do we offer at our centre?

There are different ways of treating it. In our centre, we have specialised in the two methods that achieve the best results:

  • Microsurgery: this is an outpatient operation (in which the patient can be operated on and go home after the operation) which is carried out with a microscope that allows the space to be seen more clearly, allowing us to operate with an incision of only 2 or 3 centimetres, and in just 72 hours the patient can return to normality.
  • Vein occlusion by embolisation: a vascular radiology technique in which the vein is treated remotely, eliminating scarring and decreasing the chances of the patient suffering pain. This incision is made near the testicles, separating individually thickened veins, which will be closed one by one so that blood does not pool, and only requires a return to the centre for dressings and post-operative follow-up.

Consequences of untreated varicocele

As blood accumulates in the veins surrounding the testicle, the average temperature of the testicle changes and, as a result, sperm that are optimal for reproduction are no longer produced, as their shape, movement and function are altered.

Atrophy of the testicle can occur, as damage to the sperm-producing tubules can cause it to shrink and soften.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about this procedure. At GUA we will offer you the highest quality care from the best urologists in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria .

Shockwave treatment

Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction: Frequently asked questions

Shockwave treatment has a beneficial effect on tissue regeneration, which is essential for a healthy erection. A successful treatment for erectile dysfunction.

With technological advances, it is now possible to treat erectile dysfunction with the new shockwave treatment. This is a great innovation as it is the first treatment that acts at the root of the problem, the narrowing of the arteries or arteriosclerosis. In most cases erectile dysfunction is due to a lack of blood to the penis because of this problem.

It is a long-lasting treatment, as the patient will be able to enjoy the effect of the shockwaves once all the sessions have been completed. This is the main difference compared to other treatments, where the effects are only felt while the medication, cream or injection is being applied... Therefore, there is a high probability of success in "curing" erectile dysfunction.

What are shock waves?

Although this is a new treatment, shockwaves have been used in urology for quite some time. Specifically, they are used to treat kidney stones or urinary calculi. This same technology, low-energy, high-frequency shock waves, is being used to treat impotence.

To correct erectile dysfunction, shock waves form new blood vessels in the erectile tissue, enhancing vascular endothelial relaxation.

How are they applied?

The treatment is carried out in several sessions to ensure complete success, specifically twice a week for 3 weeks. The duration of the session is approximately 20 to 30 minutes, taking into account that there are 3000 impacts per session. After one month from the last session, a check-up with the doctor is carried out.

The shock waves are placed first on the upper part of the penis and then under the scrotum to reach the root of the corpora cavernosa. In this way, the entire erectile tissue is covered.

The treatment is completely painless, brief and does not require anaesthesia or sedation. No admission or observation is required after the session.

Who can undergo this technique?

Smoking, cholesterol, sedentary lifestyle, stress, diabetes... All these vascular risk factors lead to arteriosclerosis and therefore erectile dysfunction. Patients who suffer from this pathology due to these vascular risk factors will be those who can undergo shockwaves.

Is shockwave therapy successful?

According to several studies, there is a high positive response rate to shockwave treatment, between 75%-80%. Moreover, the response remains positive in the medium term, with patients confirming an improvement in their erections over the next 6 months. Whether this is also the case in the long term is currently being studied.

Do shock waves cause pain or side effects?

Not at all. Patients confirm that they feel tingling during the sessions, but no pain. Moreover, to date, there is no record of any side effects. There have been rare cases of penile haematoma, but this is due to altered coagulation, without prior warning.
