Could Nephrolithiasis Be The Reason For Discomfort In The Leg And Heaviness On Testes?
is there any way i can get away with discomfort caused by varicocele, my case is different, its on the right side. i suffer discomfort in the leg and i feel heaviness on my testes. and my kidney ultrasound impression is nephrolithisis on the right, is this a complication or not?
Hello! Welcome to HCM. Varicocele and kidney stones are two different things. Discomfort in legs & heaviness in testis can be due to varicocele. In my clinic, I advise operative treatment for symptomatic varicocele. For kidney stones, I advise renal function tests, urine routine, X-ray KUB, ultrasound abdo-pelvis to know size & location of stones & hydroureter/hydronephrosis if any.. these are back pressure changes in ureters & kidney pelvis causing their dilatation due to distal obstruction to urine outflow by stone. Treatment is done according to the diagnosis. Hope this helps. Wish you a good health. Thanks. Regards.
