Varicocele-anyone care to share?

[extremedave]

So I've had some discomfort over the past year, we did a colonoscopy thinking it might be that direction (pun intended). Finally got an ultrasound on the "region" and here we are. Internet research says continuing riding probably won't do any harm but I am seeing a urologist next month. Anyone have any info/experience? Thanks.

Trying to keep it clean for that one jerkoff 9 year old kid who's parents let him look at the whole interweb.

I was diagnosed with presumably a mild version of this over 20 yrs ago. Never had any discomfort, then or now.

Good for you. What led to the diagnosis then, just out of sheer curiosity?

Wifey and I were going through fertility evaluations. That was my diagnosis.

I know a guy guy who was diagnosed 20 years ago. Found some strangeness down ther during a TSE. This was during the era when Lance was famous for testicular cancer awareness (rather than for being an actual scrotum as he is today) and any male who wore spandex shorts was regularly checking his beans, so to speak. Since then he has ridden untold hours, fathered 3 kids, and never had any other issues.

Gotcha, Thanks.

Cool. Thanks. We shall see what the dick doctor says (who decides to specialize in that anyway?) but this is all good to hear.
And yeah, Lance's scrotum was prime in my thoughts.
That didn't come out right.

Presumably it's like garbage men (excuse me, sanitation technicians)...they pretty much get to name their own salary, since nobody else wants to do it.

i think i wrote this before - went to a urologist about 20 year ago, and he is checking things out.
says you have a vericocele - and i give him the dumb look. he says, 'you didn't think you had 3 balls, did you?'

so yeah - it never bothers me, although my sperm are slow. (hmm ) i blame the beer.

Your sperm is old and AARP eligible.

I had a minor one, or so they said, as part of fertility studies. I had the surgery, expect a few weeks off the bike, you'll have to wear tighty whites, and avoid any technical that will disturb the testicles! never helped in producing second kid, but we were closing in on our late 30s

I think I'll try and keep track of how it feels vs how much I ride. Oddly it was more uncomfortable during the winter (less riding) than lately, but who knows.
Thanks for all the input gang.

It’s not old.... it’s “vintage”. 🤪

I had to defend my seat angle with my scrotum.

So, in Wonder Years, the older brother’s nickname for Fred Savage’s character was “Scrote” (amazing) and so I went to the webs to find a wonder years scrote meme..... and just don’t ever go on google and type in scrote. That is all.
