Tests & Investigations for Varicocele Diagnosis in Bangalore
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of successful varicocele treatment. At our Bangalore center, we use evidence-based investigations to evaluate pain, testicular health, and fertility impact.
Varicocele severity doesn’t always match symptoms. Some men with mild discomfort have severe sperm damage, while others have visible veins but normal fertility. Tests help us:
- Confirm diagnosis
- Assess fertility potential
- Decide whether treatment is needed
Why Tests Are Important
Common Tests for Varicocele in Bangalore
1. Scrotal Doppler Ultrasound
This is the gold standard investigation for varicocele.
It helps to:
- Confirm dilated veins
- Measure vein size
- Assess blood reflux
- Detect bilateral varicocele
The test is painless and takes about 15–20 minutes.
2. Semen Analysis (Sperm Test)
Essential for men concerned about fertility.
It evaluates:
- Sperm count
- Motility (movement)
- Morphology (shape)
- Semen volume
Abnormal results often improve after varicocele treatment.
3. Hormonal Evaluation (If Required)
In selected cases, blood tests may be advised to check:
- Testosterone levels
- FSH / LH hormones
This is useful in long-standing varicocele or reduced libido cases.
Are Tests Mandatory for Everyone?
Not always. For unmarried men with pain, ultrasound alone may be sufficient. For couples planning pregnancy, semen analysis is strongly recommended.
All investigations are done at trusted diagnostic centers in Bangalore, ensuring:
- Accuracy
- Same-day reports
- Minimal waiting time

Importance of Early Testing
Delaying tests can allow progressive testicular damage, especially in younger men. Early diagnosis means better fertility outcomes.
