My husband had a vasectomy about ten years ago. He has had problems with pain and swelling on and off since then.
The doctors say it is a spermatocele and want to remove it. What will this entail? Will it really cure it or just
cause more problems in that area? He fears hormone prduction won't be the same or something and he will have to take
replacements. Men seem to hate asking questions at the doctor and they obviously didn't explain this procedure well
enough to him to calm his fears. Any help would be appreciated.
