Ask Dr. Werthman
ByI am adding this feature to help answer some general questions you may have regarding vasectomy reversal. Please feel free to ask what’s on your mind. The only thing I can’t do is answer specific questions regarding a personal situation or dispense medical advice via a blog. I will be checking the blog and adding weekly. Hopefully we can build a library of good questions and answers that everyone can reffer to and learn from

Several months ago I started experiences pain in my testicles. I went to a urologist after noticing a large engorged vein on my left testicle. It was causing unbearable pain and was quite unsightly. It was diagnosed by two doctors in the same office as a varicocle. The doctor mentioned that this condition can be corrected and may cause infertility. After an operation to remove this vein, I noticed that it was reduced for a short time. After several months this condition returned as if nothing was ever done. This was a little concerning so I went for a second and third opinion. The new doctors told me that this is not a varicocle and just a varicose type vein. What? They could remove it but there was really no need. Was the first doctor wrong? Does the industry of urologist really know enough about this condition. I want the pain and vein to go away. Other male friends have mentioned that they had this condition and the vein was removed. How do I get a definite determination and have possible surgery to fix the correct condition? Can you suggest a doctor in the NJ area that has the proper experience in the field of study?
