Question 1

7 days ago i had varicocele surgery. now i see some blue/purple parts at the base of my penis and on testicles, like blood has stopped flowing there?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele Surgery: Most likely some bruising from the manipulation from the surgery. However, since I can not see it. Please call your surgeon and inquire if he needs to see you.

Question 2

after varicocele surgery a string like vessel showed up along penis shaft down went to the dr  he gave me hirudoid  does this problem affect fertility?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele is gone: The varicocele is gone and your fertility has gone up. Lose the profertil  as you probably do not need it. I think you may be able to conceive

Question 3

i had a varicocele surgery done 5 days ago and i think it's healing alright but now there is a painless dark red, bruised like spot that's a little swollen on the top of my penis at the base. what is this?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You may watch and wait. If the swelling is subsiding, it may just be part of the healing process. If you get a discharge, the swelling gets larger, you develop fever or pain, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 4

i have a grade 2 varicocele, but twl different doctors dont think its serious enough to go through the surgery and risk the minor complications. can a grade 2 varicocele progress into more, can it shrink the testicle over time?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele concerns: I have seen a flurry of questions about grade 2 varicoceles- were those from you? If yes, that likely means that you are really ANXIOUS about this. Did urologists evaluate you?  If yes, either you didn't ask enough information or your aren't feeling certain about the feedback you received.  If no, and you feel like you need a second opinion, you can ask to see a urologist.

Question 5

varicocele surgery, what can i expect?

Accepted Answer

Always ask surgeon: It's a surgeons responsibility to describe the any procedure or operation beforehand also all benefits ; risks. Wonder why ur having this surgery at age 49, this is unusual. Too late to affect fertility ; varicoceles usually don't cause much discomfort. Surgery can be done via laparoscope (my preference), open microsurgery at neck of scrotum or open abdominally through a hernia type incision.

Question 6

does varicocele come back after surgery ?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele: After spermatic vein ligation (varicocele surgery) it is common for the veins to remain enlarged for weeks until collateral venous drainage routes enlarge. If the scrotal approach (instead of inguinal) it is also possible that only some branches of the spermatic vein were ligated, leaving some still dilated.

Question 7

when to masterbate gently after varicocele surgery?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: There is no set rule to refrain from sex or masturbation after varicoele surgery as long as you feel mentally and physically comfortable. But, roughly, giving a 1- / 2-week rest after such surgery is reasonable. So, you decide.

Question 8

can a varicocele get better without surgery/treatment?

Accepted Answer

No: Varicocele can be asymptomatic.  Surgery is the only way to rid the  problem should it become symptomatic.

Question 9

i did varicocele surgery and i still fell warms on my left testicle?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: If you had the surgery within the last week or so, this is probably a normal part of the healing process. Make sure to follow up with the surgeon that did the operation as well to make sure. Hope this helps!

Question 10

my husband did a varicocele surgery. how long would it take for him to produce sperms?

Accepted Answer

It varies: Unless he had some defect in producing sperms before this surgery, it may or may not be possible to tell the impact of this surgery.  Varicocele has varying effects on sperms which have not been quantitated as far as I know. But the operation is done to improve the chance of successful pregnancy. But the answer would lie in the sperm counts done before the surgery and 1-2 months after surgery.
