Question 1

could these tiny tiny little lumps on my testicle just be normal blood vessels?

Accepted Answer

Which lumps normal?: If you are familiar with the contours of your own testicles, and something new has appeared, it's best to have a doc examine soon.  If you are just starting to get familiar with the contours, there are a few structures which are "normal lumps."  One the surface of your scrotum are also hair follicles that resemble tiny bumps--these are normal as well.  Unsure? See a doc to check.

Question 2

what causes enlarged blood vessels in male testicle?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele: Failure of the valves in the spermatic vein (most common on the left) can lead to varicosities of the scrotum known as a 'varicocele.' this is sometimes described as making the scrotum look like a "bag of worms." if there is no pain and no fertility issue, no treatment may be necessary. Varicoceles are treated when they cause pain or if there is subfertility.

Question 3

quote:

normal testicles also have blood vessels, supporting tissue. some men may confuse this with abnormal lumps at first"

is it true?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Varicoceles are typically found on left testicles in many men.  These are benign. Sometimes varicoceles are known as "bag of worms" and may appear cosmetically unappealing.  In some cases, varicoceles cause infertility and may require corrective procedure.

Question 4

have been dealing with testicle pain/discomfort for years after i was punched there. no doctors can find any issues. is it possible scar tissue built up causing any veins or blood vessels to be damaged causing these issues?

Accepted Answer

: Any injured body part sometimes can be tender and painful for months or years. The testicles are no different. The exact reasons often are not known. Often there is a psychological element, especially with genital injuries. See a doctor to be sure -- probably nothing serious will be found, but better safe than sorry. Good luck.

Question 5

i feel pounding beats/pulse in the testicles only during ejaculation. is it common? or something serious with testis blood vessels/vas deferens?

Accepted Answer

Of course not: At 30 years old your body is like a high performance engine. As it engages in sexual activity the nervous system shunts blood from areas like the digestive tract (and some would argue even the brain) to the reproductive apparatus and kicks the heart into overdrive. That a lot of blood pumping thru your genitalia at high pressure with every pulse. You're gonna feel it but if no pain then no worries

Question 6

blood test show fsh 18 (3-17.99) normal lh testosterone low at 6.8 testicle ultrasound show minor varicose veins no damage low sperm what is cause ?

Accepted Answer

Leydig cells not fx: with normal LH, low testosterone, suggests poor functioning of the testosterone making cells, Leydig cells.  There could also be an issue with antibodies as well as excessive SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin)

Question 7

is there any way to restore or fix blood vessels leading to the testicle if they have been scarred from inflammation?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: Blood vessel scarring doesn't really happen in the testicle. I'm not sure what you're asking. If you had an arterial injury resulting in loss of blood flow to testicle, there's no going back from that.

Question 8

is the shrinking of the vessels in testicles and penis be permanent from smoking?

Accepted Answer

No: The vascular system rebounds with enough time.

Question 9

does cutting oopampiniform plexus cause blood flow to be irregular ? - after varicocelectomy surgery cutting pampiniform plexus, will these veins grow back? - does varicocelectomy surgery cause any future medical issues in the testical or penis?

Accepted Answer

: Varicocelectomy can help increase fertility by restoring blood flow to your scrotum, which can result in increased sperm and testosterone production.

Question 10

testicle hurts and the veins are swollen?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele: Most common cause of swollen testicular veins. Almost always on the left side of scrotum. Feels like a "bag of worms" when subject is standing and virtually disappears when lying down, sometimes associated by dull aching pain & sometimes left testicle smaller than right. Due venous back pressure from lack of or incompetence of spermatic vein valves preventing venous back-flow. Consult urologist.
