Method 28 cases of varicocele in Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University from February 2017 to February 2020 were treated with Polidocanol combined with coil embolization. Venous reflux and semen quality improvement were observed before and after operation, and all patients were follow-up for 12 months. The efficacy of embolization therapy were evaluate. Result All 28 patients with varicocele were embolized. After operation, the reverse flow degree of spermatic vein was reduced or disappeared. The average semen volume before operation was (2.54±0.33)ml, which increased to(3.18±0.21)ml and (3.42±0.18)ml at 6 and 12 months after operation, respectively. The average sperm density before operation was (21.55±3.74)×106/ml, increased to (31.46±4.02)×106/ml and (34.69±3.77)×106/ml at 6 and 12 months after operation. The average sperm motility rate before operation was (46.31±4.95)%, 6 and 12 months after operation, which increased to (56.47±5.07)% and 

(59.19±5.17)%, respectively. Conclusion Polidocanol combined with Coil embolization in the treatment of Varicocele is effective.
