How do you pronounce this word? Vari-sauce-illy? Vari-coke-ell? I'm baffled. On a more serious note, is it normal for the swelling of the veins to drastically differ at times? Sometimes there is almost no noticeable difference at all. And when I do notice the swelling going down, there is a very obvious withdrawing feeling into my bladder or "sex line" region. Is it possible I have a Inguinal hernia as well?
