Varicocele

[Glasgow]

Okay. so im pretty sure I have varicocele. It is a backup of blood in my testicular veins, which cause my veins to dilate. This is usually harmless, but it is causing my left testicle to shrink due to lack of blood.. I don't really want to tell my parents, but any ideas on how I can bring it up?

PS. The success rate of surgery for this is about 70% that i will produce more sperm and my testicle will increease in size.

[~Dazed&&Confused~]

just bring it up in a convo with your dad...

[Glasgow]

Yea, thats easier said than done. It's sort of like telling your parents you've had sex, similar to that. It's hard for me

[Aηdy]

you've just got to find a way of telling your dad somehow... its hard for us to help on that part because we dont know your dad lol..

dude, why are you so sure that there is somthing wrong with you?
how old are you?
jesus christ let yourself grow.
give yourself some room
your gonna fucking die from stress.
you think you have testicular cancer.
then this.
then that.
its like...........dude....stop trippen.
if you feel so weird, next time you go to your dr. for a physical *which you should have every cuple years*
just bring it up.
but other then that stop trippen out.

Lmao. I aint trippen dawg..

Well, I am sort of a hypocondriac (sp?) I think that means I worry about everything. SO you will have to deal with my "trippen" until I figure this out.

i'm not sure what to do if i were you except go and tell my parents.

As some other people have said, i think you will just have to pluck up the courage and tell your dad what is going on. This may be hard but i think that you should.

hypochondriac - n. - one who constantly thinks they have some sort of illness/sickness

well.. we're not doctors so if you are worried get it checked out but 9 times out of 10 theres nothing wrong

compu, i thought i had one of these a while ago when i was having pains. i did some reasearch but by the things u say u might have one. if that's the case, however embarassing it is u need to bring it up w/ ur dad since "nothing-to-worry-about" things like these can turn into much worse things. especially since if u do have one u need surgery to fix it. for ur own sake just strike a convorsation with ur dad since im positive that he'd understand and would want to help as much as posible

[Glasgow]

Ya well, I'm going to the doctors sometime this week to get some medication for my exeema on my elbows. Maybe in the car i can say "well I guess this is a good time to tell you I would like to get my balls checked out"

[BillyWitchDoctor.com]

that's a really good idea. anytime ur going to the doctors and u have something else that ur embarassed that ud like to talk about its a great time to bring it up

[mike1]

just tell them you think something is wronge and they will probably take you to the doctor
