An informative article by IVF specialists of the best IVF centre in Delhi – Gunjan IVF World

A couple’s inability to start a family naturally cannot be always attributed to a woman. In some cases, men are also responsible. Through this interesting article, IVF specialists of the best IVF centre in Ghaziabad – Gubjan IVF World, share some valuable information on what varicocele is and how does it impact fertility in men.

“Male infertility is a growing concern among men these days. In most of the infertility cases that we see at Gunjan IVF World, we find men unawareness about the condition. Creating awareness is very important before starting the treatment. That is precisely what we do first,” says Dr. Garima Sharma, Consultant and Centre In-Charge of the best IVF center in Delhi at Janakpuri – Gunjan IVF World.

“Varicocele is one of the major reasons of male infertility. Not many men are aware of what it is. Varicocele is a common disorder in which the veins in the scrotum enlarge causing fertility problems,” says Dr. Gunjan Gupta, a leading IVF specialist Ghaziabad and Director & Founder, Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF centre in Indirapuram.

“It is usually painless but might cause testicular pain in some cases. Around 40% of the male infertility cases can be the result of varicocele. Medical experts believe that the temperature of the scrotum increases in men suffering from varicocele because of the enlarged veins carrying blood to the scrotum. The rise in temperature affects the testicles further affecting sperm production or sperm count,” added Dr. Aastha Raheja, Consultant, Gunjan IVF World – a well-known IVF center in Ghaziabad, with three more modern clinics in Indirapuram, Meerut and Noida (commencing soon).

“Varicocele can affect men of any age. Most people often notice it during their teenage years, when blood flow to the genitals increases. It is important to know about the signs and symptoms of this condition. Talk to a healthcare provider if you notice any of the symptoms,” added Dr. Garima Sharma, an IVF specialist at the best IVF clinic in Janakpuri – Gunjan IVF World.

Here are the noticeable symptoms of varicocele:
 Swelling in testicles or scrotum
 Shrinking of testicles
 Small lump above affected testicles
 Testicular pain or pain in scrotum which gets better on lying down
 Inability to achieve pregnancy after one year of trying

“Large varicocele may increase risks of other complications like low testosterone (male hypogonadism) or azoospermia, a condition where there is absence of sperm in the ejaculate (semen), making it difficult for men with these conditions become fathers. Having said that, the right treatment approach with the right IVF specialist can help in fulfilling fatherhood dreams,” concluded Dr. Gunjan Gupta of Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF clinic Delhi.
