Varicocele

[franklin]

I have had this in the left side of my ballbag since my late teens. Lately it has got considerably less comfortable. The Dr has said I can have something called an embolisation nowerdays, whereas when it was first diagnosed the option was a fair bit more invasive. Anyone had this done? They reckon 10 to 15% of chaps have it but I dont know the stats for number who actually get any work done on it.

I should point out that I am highly likely to pass out at the sight of the local anaesthetic needle as I am a big wuss when it comes to doctors.

Let me know if anyone has had it as I think if others say it went well than I will sign up for it pre-harvest.

Tbanks.

Very common and easy to sort out, never heard of any complications - go for it - you'll be much more comfy afterwards. If you pass out at the sight of a needle it will make it much easier for them to jab you whilst you're unconscious Very quick healing time too, so no reason to put it off. Good luck and just get the job done. All the best from here x
