Will hanging affect my vericose veins?

About 3 years ago I underwent surgery, vericosoctomy, because I had large vericose veins in my scrotom which was draining blood from the testicle. It caused a very low sperm count. But now after the surgery I am fine. I’m wondering if I hang BTC it will cause too much pressure on my ball sac? And might affect my veins?

I got the same condition right now…How did the surgery work for you….Did you raise your sperm count after that???

I don’t think hanging BTC will cause excess pressure on your sack, as long as your sack is properly conditioned (ie loose, and warm)

Look around on this board and the main member board and there are various ball stretching routines.

I hang BTC frequently and don’t seem to have many problems although sometimes my ball get cold or sore if they are not loose enough. But ultimately, its up to you…

I’m curious to hear how the surgery went for you….as I’m currently weighing my options….

What type of surgical procedure did you undergo, as there are three or four that I know of for this condition…1) traninginuinal 2.) embolization, 3.) infrainguinal approach 4.) sub-inginual????

I wish I knew the answer to what kind of surgery he did, but I don’t remember. I think he mentioned that he tied the veins together so they won’t interfere. After the surgery, my sperm count did rise to normal. You should do the surgery, but you’ll be in pain for a couple days.

Did the doctor go in thru your abdominals or just above your dick??

Where you anesthetized?? Or just sedated?

How long did you have the condition before you noticed it?? Did you have it on the left side or right side??

how old are you?

Don’t mean to pry, just trying to get some info….

He went where my pubic hair is above my penis. They gave me anesthesia. I had it on my left side. I underwent the sugery in 98 before I entered college, I’m now 23. My pediatrician noticed it because he gives a full check up once a year. My older brother also had it. Maybe it’s inherited. The doctor told me that it’s better to do it now when your young than when you get older.

What about the pain factor??, Scar size??

Just when I thought that it might be safe to hang BTC, bad news, I’ve been hanging BTC for a couple days now and I feel pain where my vericose veins are :( I’m laying off hanging now. About a two years ago for a check up my urologist said that if I feel any pain around the area that it’s a big problem. I hope it hasn’t recurred and I have to get surgery again. Damn I’m such an idiot.

To answer your question about scar, no the pubic area covers it up. I don’t see any scar. And ever since I’ve had the surgery couple days, I never had any pain whatsoever, until now.
