Q&A: if I have a testicular Varicocele can sexual activity injure me?


if I have a testicular Varicocele can sexual activity injure me?

Sexual activity will not hurt U, and testicular Varicoses can be identified by yur scrotum, where the suspect testicle problem is, should feel like is is full of simething like earth worms because of the additional lenths of veins in the sac with the testicle....as in vericose veins!

Sexual activity won't have a negative effect on this condition, if in fact you really have such a condition?

Hope that helps some
:- )Short answer: No.

Long Answer: I have one and I have seen my doctor about it. There is nothing wrong with having sex. The only side effects are occasional pain and it could cause you to be sterile. However, this can be fixed with surgery. Don't worry about it now because chances are it didn't affect your sperm levels. If it feels like a sac of worms on the side of your testicle, it probably is one but go see your doc just in case.You do not need to avoid sexual activity, it cant make things worse. Also, I would not see a regular doctor they are not experts in this area. See a male infertility urologist, or a general urologist. They are the ones who diagnose, and do surgical procedures on varicoceles. You will end up getting referred to one by your regular doctor anyway might as well skip over the co-pays unless you need a referral.

fyi if you do need to have it corrected there are several surgical procedures they can do. I would do the research, from what I have read the micro-surgical typically has the best results. Check for yourself though.how can you differentiate between varicocele and testicular cancer?

The best and quickest way to differentiate a varicocele from testicular tumor is with an ultrasound scan of the scrotum. The varicocele will look like fluid filled tubes and will have blood flow in them which is easily seen on color scans. Tumors will look like solid masses. Varicoceles are outside the testicles and tumor will be within the testicle.Only an ultrasound or biopsy can differentiate a variocele from cancer. But it's true that cancer tumours tend to feel less mobile and firmer than the engorged veins of a variocele. IN a nutshell, a variocele is basically a spermatic vein varicosity (like a hemorrhoid is a varicose rectal vein). Veins tend to feel 'squiggly' and are compressable (they squish down to a degree). Tumours tends to feel more firm, nodular, and are more fixed in the testicle, and they are usually painless, unlike the variocele, but this is not always the case.
