Varicocele

[bigapples]

Hello, I have had a "sack of noodles" for about 16 years. Recently I went to the doctor and he just confirmed what I already knew. Upon reading all the posts, nobody mentioned lower abdomen pain as a side effect to the varicocele Does anyone out there periodically get a pulling pain in the lower abdomen? I had a hydrocele (water on the nut) when I was 17 (now 33) and had surgery to remove it. When I was 25 I had a vasectomy and at that point the Dr. was not that concerned about the varicocele Usually I don't have any pain but it seems that now I can never get comfortable. Also every so often I get blood in my seamen. If anyone out there has similiar issues please write about them. This is a cool forum, I'm glad i stumbled on it.

I actually posted something a while back in this same forum under the "sack of noodles" moniker, so I can concur ... the pain I experience is sometimes there, a low dull ache, but I also feel it in my scrotum and testicles at times, usually after much physical strenuous activities, or being on my feet all day long. And I take it by your nickname in here, 'Bigapples', that you perhaps have larger than average testicles too, like me, real big lowhangers ... I have found that eventhough I prefer to either wear boxers to let them hang free, or go "commando" as it were, that the boxer-brief style of underwear helps support them enough, since I find wearing a jock-strap is too confining. You also have an alternative in a suspensory, which alot of men don't know about ... its basically like a jockstrap for just the testicles, allowing the penis to hang free out of an opening in the front. Perhaps providing your 'apples' with a bit more support might help with the pain.
