That's another 3 hours at the hospital, ultrasound scan done, and the results are same as before; Grade 2 varicoceles 2.5mm in size. I was told the varicoceles need to be grade 4 for removal, this was at Bournemouth hospital.
I'm still waiting for the CT scan results from the specialist at Southampton, this guy seems more positive; so I shall wait for the next follow-up appointment.
I don't know how I managed to keep my dignity today during the ultrasound scan, I was in a darkened room revealing all with two lovely young ladies.
