Hello,
- I am 16 years old.
- I have been having discomfort in my testicles since 3 years.
- I was then examined by the doctor and he found some swelling in the left testicle and there were also enlarged veins.
- There were no hard lumps on examination.
- I then had a scrotum ultrasound that revealed 5 calcium deposits in the left testicle.
- On my paperwork it says, diagnosis- testicle pain- varicose and hydrocele?
- What does this mean?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Calcium deposits in the testes or testicular microlithiasis is an extremely rare finding in males.
- Since its causing pain, it is better you keep doing annual sonograms and keep checking if the count is increasing.
- There are some studies that claim that such deposits can make cancer of the testes quite common in such patients.
- However there is no conclusive evidence.
- There is no need to be worried.
- It can be prevented by regular screening.
- There is no known treatment for the microlithiasis.
- Those distended veins indicate varicocele.
- If it is not causing any symptoms it can be left as such.
- But if it is causing persistent pain like in your case, it may have to be surgically repaired.
