HI.
Let us solve the issues one by one::
Your
Laparoscopy surgery for
varicocele done 11 years back- what was the
semen analysis report? In laparoscopy we clip the vein draining into abdomen to stop the back-flow. This is an established method.
BUT- in cases where there is a recurrence and/or large collection of dilated veins in scrotum I prefer to do excision of the vein mass in scrotum ( old and well established procedure). This reduces the internal temperature of the scrotum so that normal sperms may be produced.
I would like you to undergo :: Semen analysis to know the
sperm count, quality and quantity of sperms.
Also go for high resolution
ultrasonography to know the status of testis , varicocele, hydrocele blood flow, testis and so on. Please post it here as query for Dr T Chandrakant.
Let us see the reports and see what can be done to improve your symptoms and chance of fathering a child.
Awaiting the reports from you.
On a safer side : hydrocele is usually painless.
You might be suffering from varicocele .
