-anyway, its now tuesday nite and im
having this surgery done on friday
morning. Im just wondering what to
expectf rom this sergury. Im getting what
is call "twilight" anesthetics which im
not to sure of what that is, all I know is
that your parcially awake. The doc needs
me awake to do things like tighten my
abdominals, sit up, etc. I want to know
if I will be remembering any of this when
its done? And what kind of pain should I
be expetcting during the sergury. Ive
heard this precedure is for the most part
painless but who has had experience. I
know theres a catheder going into my
stomach...Will I be feeling that?

I had this procedure done 5 days ago.
Although the procedure itself was
relatively straight forward and painless
my left testicle has been hurting more
than usual since and also left side of my
scrotum is swelling up sometimes. Also I
have had some pain in my side and back.
Doc says I need to wait another week for
things to calm down.
Anyone else had this done?

I had my surgery done while in the navy
and I was under general ansethesia. No
need for me to do anything but lay there
and get fixed.
Took about 2 weeks to recover from the
incision(sp) but othewise the varicocele
was fixed.
I still have chronic epididmitus and that
hurts like crazy!

My Experience With Vericocele Posted: 05-13-05 04:26am
My experience has been bad.
I have had a severe vericocele (left
testi) for years now. My scrotum cannot
regulate the tempurature. Because of this
I am in constant pain when sitting or
laying down.
Recently I had a procedure done called a
varicocele embolization (they put a
catheder in my right side right above my
groin, they used local painkiller and I
was also lightly sedatided)i felt no pain
during the surgery. This was a minor
surgery that took an hour to do. They put
some little things in my vein to help
distribute the blood to healthier veins.
I have noticed nothing new besides pain.
More pain, to be frank and its very
distressing, I am at a loss what to do, I
was treated as if I had a normal
varicocele but something is not right
here.
The tempurature is the main thing, besides
the fact that the veins are big and
uncomfortable, now very sensitive and
painful, I cannot function as I did before
this whole mess. Is there anyone else out
there who has my condition? I don't even
know exactly what is going on but I know
that I just want the pain to go away.
Help...
I know everyone is different so dont
assume that your experience will be the
same, but if it is similar I would like
to know all about it, I am in dire need
for knowledge as this is effecting my
everyday - phycologically and phyically.
Does Anyone Else Have Tempurature Issues In Their Scrotum? Posted: 05-13-05 04:30am
I think this is the discerning factor in
my case. I asked the doctor and he said
he didn't know about it (or something to
that effect) does anyone else have a
condition where their scrotum is always
really hot/ it doesnt move the testies
around like it used to? This effects my
sleep and my sitting. I cannot sleep on
my side or front- I have to sleep on my
back and have my legs apart (my legs seem
to add to the heat) I also find myself
shifting a lot when I sit and I sit in
strange postitions (legs apart-more so
that one would normally sit) is there
anyone else experiencing this?

Hi! I had major varicocele in my left
testes at the age of 26. I am 33 now.
6 months after the open surgery (in india)
the varicocle recurred. I started having
slight pain(pulsating) once a month but
for a very short duration. I have been
particular in wearing tight
underwears(very uncomfortable though) and
that kept my pain in bay. Its been 4
years of marriage now and the varicocele
is striking my fertility. I got myself
examined again today and the doc told me
that my left varicocele needs to be
operated again. I told him that it does
cause me discomfort but is still
manageable. According to him if this is
left untreated then the toxins produced
due to this can cause variocele in right
testes.

Don't Know What to Think Posted: 12-08-05 03:11am
Hi I was diagnosed with a varicocele by my
gp after having an ultrasound.
Yesterday I went to a urologist, finally.
He told me that I probably don't need an
operation. The problem is I am in a lot
of pain, ususally when I lift anytjing
heavy or try playing soccer or hockey.
Through research I assumed thier is an
opperation to fix the problem but the
impression I got from the urologist is I
have to live with this. He is sending me
for another ultrasound at ubc however,to
find out if it is what is cuasing the
pain. I am 41 and live in the "outdoor
recreation capital of canada" and do not
want to give up my active, albeit on
hiatus, lifestyle.
