Please Help- Could Hernia Cut Off Testicle Circulation Posted: 12-10-05 16:41pm
When you guys read my history, please keep
in mind whether hernia could have caused
my problems!!1
hey guys I have been suffering from
varicocele for about 4 years. My problem
is that I dont have a good healthy blood
flow to the testicles.
When I turned 15 I remember feeling a dull
ache in my scrotum. Since then I have had
testicular problems. Recently I was
diagnosed with varicocele. Three weeks
ago I had a bilateral left sided
varicocele embolization done about three
weeks ago. It greatly improved matters,
as the varicocele was reduced by about 75
percent, and my testiscles felt very full.
However, four nights later, whilst
sitting in a comfy chair, I got a shooting
pain in the right hand area of my groin
above the puncture site. I went to sleep
and since then I have been feeling pretty
odd. I get on off shooting pains in my
groin, on both the right and left side,
and more worryingly it has spread to the
top of my leg a little. More over, it is
effecting my testicular health, as towards
the end of the day, my balls go from full
to atrophied. I am half way through a
course of anti-biotics, but the only thing
which relieves the pain are
anti-inflamatories and arnica tablets. Im
getting pretty worried. I assumed it was
an infection but it could be something
else.... Like a hernia, caused by the
embolization.
More over I am wondering if hernia might
have caused the varicocele in the first
place
any ideas. I get a lot of pins and
needles in that region, and it really
feels like im not getting enough blood.

I think you should really go and consult a
doctor about that, maybe the surgeon who
did your operation. You need a proper
diagnosis and someone will have to have a
look at that in order to do so.
Hope you get better soon and that the pain
goes away, that really sounds quite bad.
Take care,

Yes it does sound serious, I think you
should go back to the dr, or atleast call
him and tell him.
