will a varicocele affect how well trt works for me?

[Jiu Jitsu 24/7]

Will a varicocele affect how well try works for me? For example varicocele has destroyed my testosterone by burning them to death, if I bring in exogenous testosterone will it do the same to them? Or will exogenous testosterone not be affected by heat?

 

[Dr JIM]

Good question !

NO, providing the TRT is exactly that, the exogenous administration of testosterone, rather than some method like HCG, used to stimulate endogenous TT production/secretion.


But why don't you have it repaired !!!

Because I don't believe in cutting the human body up and cutting other veins off so others can work, plus varicocele isn't even caused by weak veins the medical theory is wrong, its caused by pressure pushing on the spermatic cord, tensed muscles around the abdominals push on the cord and suppress the vein. So I don't want to get a surgery that doesn't even attack the true cause and that's why most varicoceles actually reappear.

The closest thing that's helping is jiu jitsu, but regardless the vein just wont leave me I tried to eat healthy for ten months also and still wasn't able to fix this bitch. I'll just be running test and hcg for probably the rest of my life.

The reason there is a reduction in sperm and testosterone is the veins form a plexus which warms the Seritoli and Leydig cells excessively.

This is a reasonably well ESTABLISHED fact and not a "THEORY", and was further confirmed once it was realized resection of the plexus itself could REVERSE THE PROBLEM. However the benefit will vary bt individuals and is generally based upon the extent of the plexus, absence of testicular atrophy, patients age, or the presence of other comorbidities, etc.

I have a vericocele (a very prominent one) and still have a serum test level of 633 ng/nl without TRT. I've always wondered if it affected my test production. It's never bothered me (other than cosmetically) so I never got it fixed.

Who concocted this absolutely baseless idea (theory it is not) LOL!

Fella if it's not broken don't fix it !

 

[showstoppa]

Doubt you have one with that test production, mine was in the 100s before i had mine repaired and only got to around 300 after.

Btw @Dr JIM a good reason not to have it repaired ia the surgery fucking sucks lol, atleast my recovery did.

 

[Dr JIM]

Doubt you have one with that test production, .

Yea well with that line of logic all hernias are the same, as the BP in those with HTN or the extent of blocked arteries in those who have sustained a heart attack, NOT.

Do all varicoceles have a vasculature that involves the testicular germinal matrix, extends beyond the tunica albugenia or form A-V malformations? Ah duh!

 

[Jiu Jitsu 24/7]

Dr Jim we know varicoceles lower testosterone by heating, I'm talking about what CAUSES the spermatic cord to become swollen. I've had this condition and have done more research then you have. This condition is related to pelvic floor dysfunction, prostatitis is seen in almost every individual with a varicocele, NOT EVERYONE THO, well what causes prostatitis? 95℅ of prostatitis is non-bacteria and caused by pelvic floor congestion, this condition usually occurs with prostatitis which happens when muscles spasm or become tight and push on the lining of the bladder or prostate, remember the spermatic cord travels around these muscles this is the same reason males that develop prostatitis will also develop varicoceles. Learn more about prostatitis and then learn about the spermatic cord and where it travels and come back to me. WHY DO YOU THINK VARICOCELES OCCUR MOSTLY ON THE LEFT SIDE?? BECAUSE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WEAK FAULTY VEINS, ITS A MYTH.

I went to a urologist and he confirmed it was a vericocele. It looks like I have a bunch of worms in the left side of my bag when standing. While laying down it diminishes. I didn't have any problems having kids and that was my real concern. Guess my right nut is picking up the slack for my left.

 

[showstoppa]

Yep that pretty much what i had. Looked just like that.

And jim that comment was tongue in cheek, more along the lines of i wish i had those numbers when i had mine. Guess it didn't come off right.

They are more common on the left side and the medical description is exactly what you mentioned "a bag of worms".

In the past, the indications for varicocelectomy are primarily for infertility with abnormal semen parameters, testicular hypotrophy/atrophy in adolescents, and/or pain.

The surgical treatment of varicocele for hypogonadism is controversial and debated. Recently, multiple reports in the literature have suggested that varicocele is associated with hypogonadism and varicocele repair can increase testosterone levels.

Men with hypogonadal symptoms should have at least two serum testosterone levels.

Microsurgical varicocelectomy may be beneficial for men with clinically palpable varicoceles with documented hypogonadism.

In this review, we summarize the most recent literature linking varicocele to hypogonadism and sexual dysfunction and the impact of repair on serum testosterone levels.

We performed a search of the published English literature. The key words used were "varicocele and hypogonadism" and "varicocele surgery and testosterone."

We included published studies after 1998. We, also, evaluated the effect of surgery on the changes in the serum testosterone level regardless of the indication for the varicocele repair.

would aas compose any risks or benefits to an individual who has a varicocele? A varicocele increases your chances of being inferile, but along side with steroid use is there any effect of the infertility?

If you're considering the use of AAS, I hope you already KNOW the answer to that question among many others that you should be asking.
