  1. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    yeah, same guy....thought you seemed familiar.

  2. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    i have no idea if i had that...i doubt it...they seem to be a decent size. i had it done for fertility and a hope the fix might jump my low T levels at least a bit. i'll never know if it helped T levels, because at the same time i started on Clomid, which raised my T levels by like three fold...

  3. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    thanks...yeah, i didn't actually have ache from the varicocele prior to the surgery. Now, like you say, i have tenderness, 4 months on - left nut. Good to hear that it's simply a matter of giving it more time (hopefully) for total heal/no more ache. thanks for chiming in.

  4. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    i'll hope that it goes away eventually i guess...i didn't really know that this might be part of the deal or anything. My penile arteries are in great health. Biking is a wonderful activity to keep fit, challenge yourself, increase your nitric oxide and blood flow, and lessens some of the...

  5. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    hoping some varicocele veterans can chime in here...i had varicocele surgery exactly 3 months ago. My recovery went well, i've been lifting, and biking for some time now... My question is this - is it normal, due to the obvious trauma of the surgery, to still have tenderness/lingering pain in...

  6. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    yeah, kind of a tough call. You're young, and you obviously have not been hit with fertility issues around it. I'm older but in good shape, but i had it done because my sperm analysis came back poor, and we'd been seeing if we could have a kid. I also have low T, so that was another motivator...

  7. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    no problem, happy to. So, it's Tuesday evening, had the surgery Friday. As i think i mentioned earlier, feeling better every day. I think still a little swollen, and it's definitely a touch sore, but nothing bad at all. i will check again on swelling before bed and report back. i walked a...

  8. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    thanks...ok need to google hydrocele now i guess...wtf? i'm sick of these 'celes as it is. now there is another kind? i'll take it easy. I assume walking slowly is ok... yeah, they send you home all packed like a box of frozen steaks. The jock, ice bag, and that gauze stuffing. I took that...

  9. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    nice...yeah, i had it friday. friday, saturday, and sunday i pretty much bummed out and felt pretty damn sore. still sore, but nothing crazy. went out and walked about a mile. made me feel good...making sure i wear the jock strap they gave me.

  10. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    he just said no heavy lifting/exertion for two weeks... i'm in the US, had it done here via a good urologist that specializes in low T, fertility, and ED problems.

  11. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    new to this forum, v4 - quickly looked at some of your posts, and it sounds like you had the procedure? when? how is it going now? i'm a huge mountain biker and i love to hit the gym to lift, and i really hope i'm not gun shy now. Maybe i should expect to be a little gun shy at first.

  12. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    microsurgery i guess? where he "ties off" the veins. it wasn't the embolization. He went in just above my groin area, lower lower abdomen i guess. Have not had the courage to look under the bandage yet, but i'm guessing a 1.5 inch slit. It's really swollen at the incision site, looks like i have...

  13. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    also, hoping to ward of psychological issues from this as much as possible. right now, can't even imagine sex with my wife, or even getting horny. i guess i should just really not stress about it, and know that for like a month, i will totally be "on the shelf." i guess i'll see. Day 3...

  14. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    had varicocele surgery yesterday. certainly sore and hobbling around today. obviously gonna take it easy for a bit. Doc said no lifting/heavy exertion for two weeks. Will miss my workouts. me: low T levels, and messed up swimmers from the varicocele. hope this surgery works to firstly help my...

  15. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    But have you seen the studies that say the EXACT opposite? And my urologist said he sees between a 50 point and 100 point jump in T levels for post operative varicocele guys. I'm going with his expertise.
