Had any one here had a varicocele before during or after puberty, any affects on growth looks?
Had any one here had a varicocele before during or after puberty, any affects on growth looks?
baseball99, I had a hydrocele, about the same thing isn't it, removed because it got awkward. It was like I was carrying 5 where there should have been one....not painful unless I "pinched" it somehow. I wore really baggy jeans back then to help deal with it.
I'm 28 and have recently been diagnosed with a mild varicocele, in my left testicle (the most common, as someoene else has pointed out). I experienced a lot of pain for about two months on and off, worse at night and after having been on my feet for prolonged periods of time (I work as a waiter). Sometimes I could hardly walk and getting to sleep was also difficult becasue I had to sllep on my back and keep really still; if my balls flopped to the side or if I laid on them, the pain would increase noticeably.
My question is: as well as this pain in the testicles, I have been getting a stinging pain in the eye of my cock, only when I am aroused and building up a load. It does NOT sting when I urinate and I don't have any STD or NSU. It often hurts when I ejaculate. Does this mean that the varicocele is affecting my sperm production in the epididymis or irritating the vas deferens?
Would apprectiate some advice.
baseball... I think I can speak for lots of us here when I say thank you for all the good information you are giving us. Lots of us have lots of questions about our anatomy and plumbing, and just how things work or are supposed to work, but do not know just where to go for the answers. Thanks for being here and being a credible resource.
i have a varicocele around my left testicle. it started to appear when i was 12 or 13. when i am laying down and sleeping the blood leaves the varicocele and my genitals appear normal. but when i get up and have been standing and walking for a few hours it fills with blood and gets big. i'm planning to have what is called a microsurgical varicocelectomy. they fix the varicocele by snipping a few veins under magnification for a very precise surgery.
the fact that it gets better when you lay down and worse when you stand is pretty much diagnostic for a varicocele
