My Varicocele(17 Year Old) Posted: 12-22-05 21:12pm
Hi everyone, ill start off about my story
of my varicocele,
i remember when I was about 12 I first
felt/saw it, and being that age I thought
I was going to die or something, but I
told my dad after about a year and went to
the doctors, I got put on a list and got
the operation done when I was 13/14. The
operation took about a month to completly
get over, and the veins went from a load
of them to none! That was for the first
year, after that I felt the veins coming
back, and also the pain, and the pain was
worse!
Now im 17 I have read up on varicocele
embolisations and how they work much
better than the open surgery, I am on the
list for that and wont have the op for a
long time by the seems of it!
Im just on here to share my experience of
it, because for me the pain is horrible
and a few times its left me in unbearable
pain in the stomach.
When I wear tight trowsers/run/stand up or
do anything my left testicle and lower
stomach still hurts, and it stops me from
playing football which I really want to
do! What ive noticed is short bursts
dont affect it much, but when I have to
run and run and run it hurts so badly and
I have to stop!
Most of the time the pain goes from the
left side all the way up to my nipple, and
also it hurts on the right sometimes.
The thing I dont understand about it is
when I drink fizzy drinks especially coke
it really hurts my testicle and stomach, I
dont know why this is, does anyone else
have the same thing?
Well thats all I can say for the moment
that I can think about, please reply with
your thoughts.

Wish I could help man, but I couldn't find
anything that linked a connection between
varicoceles and drinking carbonated
beverages or the like. Have you asked
out doctor? Best wishes & I hope
your ok!

I will have to ask when I go next to the
doctors, hopefully by then they can do the
embolisation and get rid of it once and
for all!
