  1. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    They probably wanted to make sure my kidneys were functioning properly, since the contrast dye can be hard on them, I'm really not sure. You have an IV to prevent dehydration. I just turned 33 four days ago. I've noticed the varicocele since my late teens, but it didn't start getting painful...

  2. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Well, we had problems with my catheter, it kept leaking and they couldn't figure out why. Once I got to the to xray table they put a bunch of towels under me in case it leaked some more. Once you get the meds you won't care whether it leaks or not. They took the catheter out once I got to my...

  3. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    I had my embolization yesterday and stayed in the hospital overnight last night. I'm not sure of its required everywhere, but I had to have a foley catheter put in and that was the most painful part. For the procedure I was given Dilauded, Zofran, and Verced. The procedure was completely...

  4. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    I will be having my embolization in the morning. I'm a bit nervous about it. The radiologist mentioned me staying in the hospital overnight, but everything I have read says that's unnecessary.

  5. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Do any of you have the little pinhole sized blood blisters on the skin of your scrotum? I know mine are caused by the varicocele because they're only on the left side. Just curious if the surgery helps this too.

  6. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    I had a scrotal ultrasound done about two years ago, but they didn't mention any atrophy. Honestly that left side always looks big because of the varicocele. I haven't had my testosterone checked.

  7. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Well the first urologist I mentioned actually replaced another one that moved out of state. So, technically I have seen three different urologists now. I have come to the conclusion that they just don't want to be bothered with varicoceles. I don't know, maybe they're worried the pain won't...

  8. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    I just got back from the urologist, it was pretty much a useless trip. He says he was taught only to operate if there's infertility. He said he doesn't operate for pain, because likely the pain will not improve, or even get worse. I'm not sure I agree with that because what I've read online says...

  9. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    I'm in the USA (in Alabama). I think what started the pain was when I went jogging while wearing boxers (a dumb mistake), that pain lasted about a week. I have always had low hanging testicles, but never thought much about it until that episode. I was able to go months without any symptoms but...

  10. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Hi everyone, I'm new here and just want to say this forum is extremely helpful. I have had a varicocele on my left testicle for as long as I can remember, but it didn't start getting painful until I hit 30 (I'm 32 now). At least 3 days per week I'm in pain, sometimes so bad I have to walk with...
