A member asked:
I've been diagnosed with a 0.5cm varicocele. i sometimes feel a dull ache in the teste irregularly. what are my options - surgery?

Seems to be minor pr: It is a minor problem as long as it has not caused you any serious complications. Your doctor can monitor you(one choice) and may recommend surgery later on(the alternative choice) if it gets bigger or more painful or causing infertility.
