  1. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Great to hear it 80schild. I look forward to your coming updates, especially as you reach and go beyond the 3 month mark!

  2. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    It's a small world. :type:

  3. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Were you on PeakT's forum too? I think I may have spoken to you there too.

  4. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Guys, I'm feeling a bit confused about who said what, when, so bear with me as I ask this one question, and maybe some of you can't answer it, but if you had any testicular atrophy, did it improve post-embolization, and was there any change in T levels?

  5. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Is the varicocele all gone now and you have no discomfort?

  6. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Are the coils big? I thought they were tiny, but veins can be quite big. What if the coils move out of place?

  7. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    It is my fear that any procedure to correct V could leave me in more discomfort than before, not to mention the risk of injury to the veins or arteries from embolization or surgery. It reminds me of the story of the dog with the bone looking into the pond and seeing his reflection.

  8. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    I am not a doctor, so take what I say as a pinch of salt. It may be that you will be left with a greater sensitivity to pain after the surgery. It might improve or it might not. That's not telling you anything you don't already know. :-) I would say that cycling is not a great activity for a...

  9. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    The varicocele on the left is not particularly big. Looking at the scrotum, the untrained eye would not notice anything untoward. The left veins are enlarged, but are not usually painful. On the right, the varicocele is not as pronounced and only give pain occasionally. The varicoceles are...

  10. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    That may be just side effects from the drugs used during the procedure. Of course, consult your doctor about any concerns you may have. I feel really sad about my testicles. They have decreased in size and firmness since 2008. I remember what they were like then and they are much smaller now...

  11. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    My varicocele doesn't actually hurt that much. If I knew it was not causing decline in fertility, testosterone, and atrophy, I would not car about it. I can live with the mild discomfort from it, but not with the low T, if indeed that is the issue. I am pretty sure it has caused shrinkage. There...

  12. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Why did they want you to fill the urinal? Was it something to do with concerns about you being dehydrated? If you don't mind me asking, what age are you, and what age were you when you developed the varicocele(s) and/or were diagnosed? I am 30 and had the varicocele diagnosed in 2001 but was...

  13. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    I was wondering about going to the toilet... Anyway, hopefully you have a good recovery. I look forward to hearing how you progress as you heal. This is very valuable, to have a guy who's just had the procedure and be able to update us on the internet - you are probably the only guy doing...

  14. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Good luck. Let us know how you get on!

  15. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    My testicles have shrunk from the varicoceles. Often they are soft and they are at the bottom of the size range. They used to be bigger. If I have the procedure, whether embol or surgery, is it likely that the nuts will increase in size and firmness?
