Ask HN: In high pain.How to get relief from varicocele?

3 pointsby p17babout 5 years ago
I am having some major testicular pain which I believe is due to prolonged sitting in front of the computer and less movement due to quarantine. I have a grade 3 varicocele so any demanding physical movement puts pressure on my scrotum. I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience dealing with it. Are there any holistic ways of getting some relief from varicocele. Please advice. I am trying to avoid the hospital as much as possible during these times.

I know this isn&#x27;t the time to see a doctor, but...GO GET IT CHECKED OUT BY A PROFESSIONAL.<p>I have had both testicular cancer and a varicocele. The pain and symptoms are very very similar. One is deadly, one will go away on it&#x27;s own. The trouble with TC is that it goes from detectable to deadly in a very short time.<p>Don&#x27;t mess around with this one!

This may sound crazy but crying may help.<p><i>Crying for long periods of time releases oxytocin and endogenous opioids, otherwise known as endorphins.</i><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.healthline.com&#x2F;health&#x2F;benefits-of-crying" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.healthline.com&#x2F;health&#x2F;benefits-of-crying</a><p>(I&#x27;ve done this. I have no shame.)

Go ask a doctor, not random internet strangers. There’s such a thing as telemedicine these days.
