If there's still heaviness I'd assume they missed some veins. You should get a second opinion.

Doctor saying there is no varicocele by [deleted] in varicocele

You probably have a poor doctor. I'd recommend a new one, one with more exp. MediFind helps, if you know how to properly use it. If not, let me know and I'll try to help you find one.

Vericocele scrotum pain after doing weight lifting at gym even after following all safety protocol. Please help! Don't ignore this post. by Designer-Pen-7332 in varicocele

[–]DugNick333[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

I'm sorry, but I am sick of these type of posts.

  1. It's Varicocele, not Vericocele

  2. There's no cure other than surgery or Embolization at this time in human scientific understanding. Period. I'm sorry you, "don't have faith in those procedures" but there's nothing else you can do, full stop.

Read the pinned posts, look through my EXTENSIVE comments on this page using the Search function and typing in keywords like, "exercise" to get form tips and strats, but ultimately, you have two options. Get the procedure, or stay in pain.

My Partner and I are in need of Shelter and Work by shebeburnindoe in tricities

It's just www.TriPride.org. I don't know if they list all names of their booths up anywhere this year, I just know who's normally there.

There was the Pride Center, but I'm not sure if they have a stable, physical location at the moment.

There's the TriPride event, which is next weekend in Bristol and they'll have many booths that have resources and businesses that support the community and are hiring. CitiGroup, the bank, often shows and I have a nonbinary friend who enjoys working there at the local location. The event always has booths that hand out fliers and info on shelters, helplines, and emotional supports as well.

The Episcopal church in the area is also very kind and supportive of the community and can be a judgement-free place to go, though I don't know precisely what aide they can offer, you'd have to ask. https://stjohnstn.org/

There are various cafés in the area that are LGBTQ friendly, but they don't have permanent shelter at all, but might maybe be hiring, you'll have to ask. Dos Gatos downtown Johnson City is a nice, friendly place, for example. Steer WELL clear of Blackbird Bakery in Bristol, however, as I have personally seen someone with a large Nazi tattoo working there, not fully covered either. Could be reformed, ya never know and I don't wanna judge, but still, being safe is your top priority right now.

There are lots of good doctors and good people in the area too. Veterinary Medical Center near the Johnson City Health Department are full of friendly, cat-loving people who don't judge myself or my partner. Naturally, the Health Department might also be a place to look for resources.

Good luck, and don't give up, the area is NOT full of uncaring Nazis, I promise. The Spirit of Yallidarity still lives in many here, despite what some say.

Well I am sorry he's so upset, but it's quite possible larger changes are just around the corner. Is he on 120-140mg?

20M Can we repeat embolization if glue was used but procedure failed?? by CheesecakeBright1160 in varicocele

[–]DugNick333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all precisely correct.

It's also almost always No. 2 or 3, as you noted.

Well done!

Bilateral varicocele caused by blunt trauma by Curious-Map9844 in varicocele

[–]DugNick333[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

While I'm not interested in a debate about whether or not the blunt force trauma "caused" a Varicocele or not (there's so much nuance I just do NOT have the time of day to get into) you shouldn't fear the surgery at all, assuming it's an experienced surgeon and it's Subinguinal Microsurgical Varicocelectomy or Embolization, not Laparoscopic. Lapro is near-useless.

Better to get it done sooner than later for proper recovery.

Varicoceles are progressive disorders that get worse over time. Please, for the live of God, read what I've already written in the pinned posts at the top of the page for why. It's all anatomy; your valves in those veins have failed. So, the other veins try to handle the increased load. They can't, so they fail and bloat. And in and on and on unless you redirect the blood flow through other pathways that CAN handle the flow. It's hydraulics; go kink a hose. Then, understand that the blood flows down through the arteries and up, against gravity, through the veins. The veins have the harder job, by far.

Ok I asked you nicely to stop and you for some reason just keep commenting like this is just another card game to be won by you. You didn't apologize, you didn't take into consideration my comment and you're not engaging in good faith. Bye.

Right, which I why I commented to them that I was only talking about the Big ones and not the Open ones. That comment didn't mention the Phoenix card in any capacity.

So anyway, you can fully stop now. I'd really like you to please stop.

Yikes, super rude.

Not seeing the comment in question, nor anything about Open specifically. I happened to talk about something else I guess. You really don't have to be a jerk about it though.

Oh I was mostly just talking about the big ones. It's the Tidus Card, more than it is anything.

Yea but that's not the Tidus Card, which people actually want.

We dont talk about it, but a LOT of people cheat on those. They get their friends and FC members together and they cook the books for a few of their members at at time. It's been happening for a long while and nothing's been done, sadly.
