Okay I got my results back. It is the testicular doppler ultrasound.
It has this
History: Varicocele, decreased flow.
Technique; Imaging of the scrotum was performed using a linear transducer.
Findings: The right testicle is normal and homogeneous measuring 3.3 X 1.9 X 2.2 cm. There is normal color and arterial waveform within the right testicle. The right epididymis is unremarkable measuring 0.5cm at the head.
The left testicle is normal and homogeneous measuring 3.3 X 1.7 X 2.3 cm. There is normal color and arterial waveform within the left testicle. The left epididymis is unremarkable measuring 0.7 cm at the head.
The left peritesticular veins show moderate increase in caliber and augmented color flow with Valsalva indicating a varicocele. Within the right peritesticular veins, there is color flow detected without and with Valsalva but no significant change in caliber.
Impression: Left greater than right varicocele.
He said even if you do surgery, there is 60 percent chance it would get better. But he tells me I should wait until I want to get a kid and I am young since I am only 22. The thing is most likely I will have to do it anyways. And yes he confirmed I have a varicocele grade 3.
I asked him about the blood tests to test circulation and he said he cannot do those tests and I will have to see another urologist for that because he does not have the tools for those things. Does anyone know if this varicocele has any relationship to my erectile dysfunction problems?
What should I do now? I have this varicocele that I must get surgery and my penis has problems as well because I have E.D and definitely I have poor blood circulation in my penis as a result of the accident I had back in 2005 where no urologists gave me any solution.
Should I just get surgery for this varicocele first and then worry about my penis? I am more worried about my penis since I have erection problems since 2005 and I know right now I have to have little blood circulation on my penis.
