varicocele question
by worried2001, Apr 14, 2009 09:46AM
hey doctor.
a few years back i had varicocele embolization on the right side, but now i have recently had an ultrasound revealing that i have a varicocele on the left side.
most of the veins on the outside of the scrotum and on the penis are becoming much larger, ones that before i didn't know were there are now very visible, also i get pains in my lower abdomen.
my GP just say's that it's to do with the varicocele and will be alright after i have that sorted, although he didn't seem to know what he was talking about, as he looked in a book on his shelf and couldn't find anything on this topic, he just said he didn't know and that i would just have to wait to see a urologist, but the nearest appointment is 2 months away!!!
it is quite painful throughout most of the day so i have been prescribed co-codamol 30/500, 2 tablets 4 times a day.
will all of these veins just go back to normal after i have it sorted, or is it permanent and will need further treatment, just cos theres a lot of veins so...??? i've been back to the gp for a repeat prescription and to see if there's any other urologists in the area to see because the veins seem to be getting noticiby worse almost everyday... i'm not sure what to do as the GP say's just to wait for the urologist appointment in two months time...
