Vericocele

by mendikuro, May 14, 2009 03:06AM
Dr,
I was diagnosed recently by my Doctor to have Vericocele. this was also confirmed by a testical scan.
The Doctor has recommended that i undergo surgery in order to correct the situation, which has been scheduled to happen this weekend.
Please is there any other way by which this problem can be fixed?, becasue i do not want to undergo any surgery.

Mendi

Hi,
      How are you? Varicocele is a condition in which the veins around the testicle get enlarged and engorged with venous blood. Due to exposure of the testicle to the venous blood sperm production gets hampered.
There are two methods of repairing a varicocele; one is surgery and the other is sclerosing the vessel with sclerosing. But chances of recurrence are with the latter procedure.
Best.
