Suggest Treatment For Small Sized Lumps In The Spermatic Cord
Question: I have what feels like 3 bebe sized lumps in what I believe is my spermatic chord.
My urologist seems to think it's a Vericoceal , which I obviously have and have surgery scheduled to fix. The reason i think I have two issues is that, these lumps can move when squeezed in what I feel is a tube. I've had them for years and when I first noticed, it seems about the same time my Volume of ejaculate was reduced.

I had an ultrasound. It's diagnosed as a varicocele.
It's in the area where the connecting veins are that are dilated. I can squeeze the lumps up or down which are in the same tubelike structure. They are pretty hard and the same diameter of the tube they are in. I don't know if it's a vein or tube.
It's not a cysts. That was ruled out.
