I’m reaching out to get a second opinion regarding a varicocele issue that is causing me ongoing pain and discomfort.
An ultrasound Doppler report shows:
Grade III/IV varicocele on the left side
Dilated pampiniform veins >3 mm
Reflux present both at rest and during Valsalva maneuver
I’ve also been experiencing:
Visible swelling of scrotal veins
Dull pain in the scrotum and lower abdomen
Pain worsens while standing for long or walking
A local urologist has recommended microsurgical varicocelectomy, but I would like to know your expert opinion before proceeding.
Could you kindly help me with the following:
Do you think surgery is necessary in this case?
Is microsurgical varicocelectomy the best approach for me?
Are there any non-surgical options I should consider first?
What are the risks and long-term results if I delay or avoid surgery?
Can I consult you in person, or do you offer video consultation for second opinion?
