Could nephrolithiasis be the reason for discomfort in the leg and heaviness on testes?
Patient: 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? Doctor: 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.
