Foreign hello there. I'm Dr. Anne Truong and today I'm going to talk to you about something that's very important that never gets discussed about that men suffer silently and there's really no other option for them until now. And that is called pain in the testicles. And after a vasectomy. A vasectomy is a procedure where it's almost contraceptive for men, where the vas deferens, which is the tube that carry sperm from the testicle to the abdominal space. The vas deferens, which is that tube, gets cut on both sides. It's called vasectomy. So it literally gets cut. So that way sperm cannot be transferred into the prostate and therefore into the urethra in the ejaculate. So this is the picture of the Vortov vasectomy is where the vas deferens is cut. And then in this picture here, it shows the route of the vas deferens where it goes from the testicles to up to into the abdominal space, over the bladder into the prostate, and then all the way through the urethra to the penis and is actually a very curved path. And so the route from the testicle to the prostate area is then cut. However, when it's cut, men will develop scar tissue and evidently the scar tissue will form pain because scar tissue sometimes it becomes like a big glob and it involves nerve in there and it causes like an achy type like pain that interrupt a man activity. It's like it's not constant pain, but any type of pressure on the testicles, such as wearing jeans or even exercising or even touch or even just having intercourse. And like with orgasm or with ejaculation, there's that painful period. In some men, the pain may be so excruciating that he can't even wear anything that put any type of pressure on the testicle. And it's a very uncomfortable, sharp, undulating pain. I had a patient that actually had a vasectomy eight years ago and then had wanted to do a reversal. But since the Reversal. He also started having pain in testicle region where the vas deferences. And there's also incidents of pain just after vasectomy as well. Not that because the procedure didn't go well. It just scar tissue develop anytime you cut into something. Like if you cut yourself accidentally, the scar tissue that gets formed. But the scar tissue also pull adjacent tissue and nerve into the area. And it may even form something called an neuroma, which is where nerve and soft tissue mingle. And that's what causes that pain with pressure.

Now that you know what vasectomy pain is, fortunately we now have a device which is our focus shockwave right here that we have. We now have a device this uses the energy of sound wave and this is a focus device that we also use for erectile dysfunction and it deliver targeted energy all the way down as much as 4 inches that help with pain, but it also help with increasing blood flow. It breaks up scar tissue. It also helps renew tissue or rejuvenate tissue as well. So it is evidence based to work for ed. But now using the shockwave machine, we can also now treat the pain from vasectomy or pain in the testicles that men are suffering. And now there is no treatment for it at this time because the last thing you want to do is have another surgery down there because it's just going to exacerbate the pain. So now with using the Shockwave probe, we can now just do targeted treatment right on the testicle, along the vas deferent, along the side of the testicles right here and up and down like this. And we had a patient that we did this to this week that said that after the first treatment he felt pain relief immediately and then he also feel the swelling around the testicle also went down as well too. And he was suffering for eight years. Constant pain every day. With one treatment which took like maybe five minutes, we were able to reduce his chronic pain immediately. And he now had a second and third treatment and now is having longer relief pain. The first time in eight years that we're able to treat within a five minute treatment. So having said that, if you are a man that has pain in the testicle, either from vasectomy or maybe from trauma in the past, perhaps consider getting shockwave therapy. Like with the focus shockwave therapy just targeting around the area of pain, around either the testicle or the scrotal area. And how it works is that it brings in more blood flow, it breaks up the scar tissue, it rejuvenates the tissue and therefore stimulate healing. When you have more blood flow, more healing and obviously the toxins are cleared out of the way and and then the tissue is able to function normal again and therefore pain is reduced. It's the same way that it works on the penis where it rejuvenates the penis muscle and improve blood flow. That's how it helps with erectile dysfunction. So this is great news. If you are a man that has pain in the testicle, the scrotal area, there's now another alternative to is the shockwave machine with focused shockwave that is targeted towards the area of pain and you will have immediate relief like one of our patient had this week. So I hope that you find this interesting. I am excited that this is something that is helpful for I know millions of men are suffering from this.
