Question: varicocele has returned and is larger


 supersniper - Wed May 06, 2009 10:16 am

Hi I am 19 years of age and am 1.93m... In September 2008 i went to my urologist and he diagnosed me with a varicocele on the left testicle. after the op he came to my bed an said that the veins were (in his own words) huge. now 8 months later the veins are back and even more visible through the skin. is this normal ? will this reocurrance have a worsened effect on my fertility? And any advice on what to do now would be great.

User avatar Hello,Recurrences occur in about 10 percent cases and also depend on the procedures adopted.Microsurgical procedures carry the least recurrence rates.
