Can varicocele be related to the stop of puberty?!


Question:

Can varicocele be related to the stop of puberty?

I got varicocele when i reached puberty at 14. Now im 17 and i still look young as when i was 14! I really want to know if varicocele has something to do with the stop of puberty because im really worried and i dont want to go to a doctor because im scared..and im embarrased to tell my family about this. And the worst thing is that im scared to have sex with my gurlfriend because im worried of what she can say. Is there any kind of self treatment that i can use or something so that i wont have to go to a doctor? or what can i do? please help me..


Answers:

I have the same problem and I'm 20 yrs old.

No, it does not stop puberty because I matured as normally as anyone else, you may just be a late bloomer.

If you have ever taken a sports physical then the doctor and your mother already know. My mother did not tell me until i was 17 and surprised me with a urological visit.

As far as what the doctor told me, it is a problem that you can live with but if you feel dicomfort or you receive a hit or blow that area than you may need surgery (which is what i need in a week)

My girlfriends (2) never even knew i had it because they could not recognize it until i told them and if they like or love you enough they will not care.

I believe a doctor will be your best bet to see the extent of how bad it may be because it may lead to infertility as you get older, but like i said, if you feel discomfort or pain, see a doctor immediately and wear a some supportive garment

Hope this helps.
