Benzene

[alaska66]

I was stationed in Marines and i later found out that the water had contaminants, such as benzene and vinyl chloride,TCE, PCE. I had a test done and it stated that i have a varicocele on the right hemiscrotum and i dont think that is the reason.I am 45 now and i found out almost five years ago. But i feel that the problem was their earlier in my life.

A varicocele is a structural issue similar to varicose veins and I cannot see how it could have been caused by exposure to chemicals. For a definitive answer check with a urologist.
