RumRed Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Lads, in this new woke age I can’t think where better than here to talk about balls. More old blokes than anywhere else I know! I have a varicocele which is basically a varicose vein in your balls, f’ing hurts constantly. Not anything that will kill you and I have no intention of breeding so that’s not an issue. Anyone else had this and had surgery? The doctors seem to suggest that pain management the better idea, but over the counter stuff not touching it. Anyone any experience? Feel free to DM if you don’t want to go public!l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly the most effective treatment is minor surgery but best to talk to your GP - things may have changed since my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks RR, I went against my left wing roots and had a private consultation that the doctor basically led me to ‘managing’ the pain. I hate these things because I never ask the right questions at the time and downplay it. Almost like I’m apologising. I’m also 43 with no kids so I think at this age they still think you’ll change your mind (I won’t). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw several guys with it over the years but all were older guys. I came across several with a condition called a hydroseal Which is essentially excess water accumulated in your scrotum and it made them look as if the they had massive dicks when wearing trousers........... My advice is talk to your GP and ask what treatment is available - being told to ‘manager the pain is a load of bollocks (if you’ll excuse the pun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read numerous heartwarming, even heart-rending threads on here over the years, from fears about ill or premature babies to broken down cars, electrical appliances and the like, but, apart from the occasional bollocks (Sorry , cheap gag there) the response from fellow forum members seems always to be amazingly helpful and sympathetic/empathetic.

Two main causes I think. 1) poor absorption in the sac 2) excess production of fluid in the sac which can be congenital. It’s years since I studied this stuff and as my powers of recollection are not what there once were..................so I can’t be sure if I’m 100% accurate. I do know that hydrocele’s or hydroseals are fairly uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know, I’m ‘tossing’ up between surgery and living with it. Dr led me towards no intervention which I know makes sense as it’s only pain and perhaps my brain will learn to block it out or at least dull it after a while.
