  1. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    it depends on the surgery but if we're talking about microsurgery then yes your testicles will be tender possibly for years after the surgery. i'm talking after the initial 1 or 2 month recovery period where you have healed from the incisions and intrusions into your body. for the next year or...

  2. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    "how about testicle size" my testicles stopped atrophying. i know this because i had an ultrasound before surgery, and an ultrasound last month, 4 years after surgery. and my testicles had not decreased in size. the radiologist will indicate the size of both of your testicles by giving their...

  3. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    "no more pain from the varicocele?" the pain in my right varicocele, which was the much worse one for pain, was reduced to almost nothing. that was one of my main concerns - in the latter stages of damage and atrophy, my right testicle would ache with pain so bad it would wake me up once or...

  4. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    "able to have sexual activity?" i never had sex after surgery. i never felt comfortable having sex again. of course you can have sex and this is the whole point of the surgery for infertility patients. but i never did. so 4 years, no sex. i jerk off a lot, most days, for an hour or two...

  5. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    "Do the thick veins go down after being tied off?" in my case they did but they never went away completely. they are probably one third to one quarter the size now than they were before surgery. i'm not sure anybody's veins will completely atrophy down to almost nothing, or be absorbed by the...

  6. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    "Does anyone have success stories of one or both of these issues?" i was able to run hard, lift heavy, and jerk off hard and regularly after my surgery, with very few side effects long term. which surgery you have, and how good your surgeon are, will be factors. i can't speak to an inguinal...

  7. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    it is now 4 years since my microsurgical varicolectomy. please see my posts in october 2010. for 4 years everything went well, until october 22 this year. i believe i have accidentally made my right varicocele come back slightly. i think this is because of 4 years of lots of hard running, hard...

  8. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    in november 2010 i had microsurgery on varicoceles on both my testicles. 2 years later and so far so good. if anybody has any questions i will try to answer them.

  9. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    just an update now that i have gotten all my medical bills. the total cost was about 10,000 dollars. 3000 for the surgeon and 7000 for the hospital and anesthesia. my health insurance paid 2000 for the surgeon and 5000 for the hospital and anesthesia (i think, not exactly sure, even now, 5 weeks...

  10. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    by the way, i did get a quote from olga, who is doctor gat's nurse. she said the gat-goren method costs $11,500. confirming what some other guys here have said. if my varicocele recurs, i will probably consider having their procedure to correct any other veins. i'm not interested in getting cut...

  11. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    1 month after microsurgery for me. things seems to be going OK. all the heat and discomfort of the varicocele is gone, testicles are much cooler, the way they are supposed to be. all the bruising and swelling has healed. i do experience this new, unpleasant feeling sometimes, which is my veins...

  12. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    K1212, if this is such a big life changing problem for you, get surgery. i don't know why you don't just go ahead and talk to one of the specialists in this field. money is no excuse here. you can get microsurgery from a good surgeon in the US and the entire procedure might cost 12000 dollars...

  13. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    by the way, varicoceles are caused by malfunctioning one-way valves in your veins. lots of people have this problem in their lower extremities. women in particular get this condition in their legs. varicose veins in the legs are happening for the same reason as varicose veins in the scrotum.

  14. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    nidhogg i had surgery because my testicles were shrinking very badly, i was ejaculating less semen, and there was less sperm in the semen. the varicoceles, especially the left one, was big and hot and clumsy and annoying, too. my right testicle would periodically ache, and an ultrasound found...

  15. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    i had microsurgery yesterday. the procedure went well. of course it takes 3 months or so to figure out how well everything actually went, but the surgery itself went good. dr thompson ligated 7 veins on the left and 5 on the right. it is not as painful as i thought it would be. the anesthesia...
