For bilateral Grade 3 varicocele with persistent pain, microsurgical varicocelectomy (subinguinal approach) is the gold standard â it gives the best long-term pain relief (~70â80%) and lowest recurrence. Embolization is a good minimally invasive alternative but has slightly higher recurrence rates. Homeopathy/Ayurveda have no proven efficacy for structural Grade 3 varicocele.
Next Steps
Consult a urologist/andrologist for surgical evaluation â microsurgical varicocelectomy is the recommended choice for your grade and symptoms. Consult me on Practo for further guidance.
