What Causes Weakness And Fatigue After Repair Of Varicocele?

My dad had a repair of a varicele about 6 weeks ago and has experienced weakness and fatigue and queeziness. Most recently he has had gross hematuria with sediment. Very little pain, slight tenderness in his low back. I m worried about cancer naturally. His primary suggested it was a kidney stone. A UA showed no infection but of course red blood cells. Suggestions? Should we be worried?

Hello
Thanks for query.
Your father has undergone surgery for Varicocele and feeling tired since surgery he has hematuria since very recently ..The cause of fatigue and tiredness could be loss of blood due to hematuria and not due to surgery .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Serum PSA.
4) Endoscopic examination of bladder (Cystoscopy)
5) C.T Scan of abdomen and pelvis

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
