Question 5

is it possible to have a varicocele embolization undone (i.e. remove the coil)? if so, are there any risks?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele: In general no, it is not feasible to remove the coil from a small vessel such as the spermatic vein.  I think the larger question is, why would you want to have it removed?

Question 7

does having a grade 3 varicocele (4.3mm) have lasting damage if left untreated for 10 years? previous doctors have said its fine but when i moved again i was able to see the report and get more info slightly more info. worried about fertility?

Accepted Answer

: Varicocele is a medical condition that occurs when the veins within the scrotum become enlarged and twisted. It is a common condition, affecting approximately 10-15% of men. While varicoceles are usually harmless, in some cases, they can lead to fertility problems if left untreated for an extended period. The longer a varicocele is untreated, the more likely it is that permanent damage will occur.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Weed: I have seen no warnings that weed causes varicocele a

Question 9

how can i treat varicocele?

Accepted Answer

Options: Not all varicoceles need to be treated. Reasons to fix a varicocele would be symptoms (pain), infertility (common finding with infertile men), and adolescents with testicle atrophy. Treatment options include open surgical repair including microsurgical approach (with use of microscope), laparoscopic varicocelectomy or percutaneous embolization typically performed by a radiologist.

Question 10

what can be done for a varicocele?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele: Most common therapy for varicocele is a varicocelectomy either through an open approach or a laparoscopy.  Alternatively, embolization of a varicocele can also be performed as well.  The basic concept is a disruption of the venous back flow to the testicle.  www.peedoc.com @drhtay.
