varicocele?

Question

Okay so I went to a urologist and he found a varicocele. He said if I want to have an operation, then I can, but the only problem is that it may cause infertility.

I doesen't create a very great discomfort right now, and I've chosen that if I ever feel that it's gotten worse or if I discover it's affecting my fertility, I will have the operation.

For now, does anyone know any tips to manage it? I usually feel a sort of heaviness or slight ache in the afternoon. I'm going to try to remedy the problem with homeopathy (i know, i know, it's a pseudoscience but it's cured lots of stuff for me and for other people I know).

So any tips to manage this varicocele?

I also want to say that an operation would be kind of unwanted because I'm a drummer and it would most likely affect my ability to go on tour this summer.

Answer 1

i have a Varicocele too. the doctor said to me that as long as it dosnt hurt too much it shouldnt be a problem for me. but if i was having trouble having babies in the future that there is a rlly simple surgery for it that i could get but most guys with this problem dont need it and they can have a bunch of babies. so dont wrry about it its nothing i know alot of guys that get that i m on of em. as long as u dont have rlly big pains u l be fine.

You're wrong and it's strange the urologist didn't say you some important consideration about Varicocele. The main causes why this disease is risky for the fertility are due to the higher temperature of the testicle and to the atrophy the testicle could meet in the time. I don't know your specific situation and if the urologist just assured you can stay so for long with no concerns. Therefore, I ask now, what are you waiting? The surgery is simple and not risky for the testicles. The procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis (meaning there's no need for an overnight stay in hospital). The patient usually undergoes general or local anesthesia. To fix the problem, the doctor simply ties off the affected vein to redirect the flow of blood into other normal veins.
