Do i need to get a varicocele surgery?


I am a 15 year old male with a varicocele in my left testicle. I don't have any pain, and it doesn't seem to be causing any problems. My family also struggles financially and would have to pay for the entire surgery out of pocket, as we have no insurance. Do i really need the surgery? Would getting an Embolization be cheaper?

How soon after a varicocele embolization can you return to a normal workout regimen?


note: a varicocele embolization is an alternative to varicocele surgery.
----------

Usually it would be better if you take off for one month from your normal workout regimen, especially if you had a surgery for varicocele.

Now, if the surgeon only removed your varicocele embolism and not surgically corrected the rest of the varicocele, then it is a lifelong condition and you must consider lessening your workout time.

Remember that people with varicocele do have problems with fertility most of the time.  (+ info)

In having a mico surgery for varicocele and i have a few questions?


1. How bad will the scar be? (Are there any pictures?)
2. How can i minimize the scar (ointments after surgery, pills, anything)
3. When can i train, run and lift heavy weights?
----------

Really you should ask this from your surgeon.
1. I think you will have 'micro' (you have written mico) surgery, so the scar should be very small.
2. Some cortisone containing ointment like betnovate, applied sometime after the healing, can help.
3. Again, it will be surgeons opinion. I would think six weeks as by then the tissues should be strong enough.
All the best for your surgery!  (+ info)

Can varicocele be located near the bottom left side of your left testicle?

It can be located anywhere on the testicle. Look up the symptoms on any reputable medical site, it will tell you.
