Just saw your age I was around the same age. Am 41 now
Looks like standard is 28 days.
thanks for the replies, doc recommended i do a 20 day run but might extend it to a month or so just ot make sure its out of my system.
Also been thinking of minimizing animal protein out of my diet just a tad bit, i’ve been eating a shitload of meat the past year, every single day without breaks.
Currently experiencing some odd veins on my shaft im guessing due to the variococelectomy and i’m not quite sure if this is a positive or negative.
Will keep this thread updated though.
Hey bro, i had another question that might be related to this whole variococele thingy.
Some wack doctor prescribed me with DHEA last year due to potential early “hypogonadism” and i took one pill only and backed off since its hormonal.
Does dhea help in the production of test, should i use it now that i’m recovering? (still have a small vial filled with pills of that stuff). Or should i completely avoid using it? Would it shut down my natural production of test?
DHEA is produced by the adrenal glands. It is a precursor to sex hormones testosterone and estrogen. Your body can convert it to either hormone. It will not shut you down.
Thanks for the reply as im a bit confused with the literature surrounding the stuff. You’re always really helpful.
Would you recommend i take some or completely avoid it and let my body recover from the two varicoceles i repaired?
Some studies show it doesn’t do anything and some show it does. I think the biggest and worst case scenario is it will convert to estrogen leaving you estrogen dominant. If you have blood test showing low levels of dhea then sure. If your in recovery mode I wouldn’t worry about it.
Thanks will consider, gonna have another sperm analysis done in about 3-4 as suggested by uro and chemist. They said my test will rise and sperm production till then.
I’ll do some dhea and estrogen tests as well, perhaps free test, fsh and lh and go on from there.
Like i said i might be updating this daily or whenever i see some change.
short update, the vein that grew along the shaft is becoming hard and somewhat painful, a thrombosis, the varicoceles dying, testosterone rising? who the fuck knows. might get a doctor to check it out.
Feeling pain from the left side where an incision was done on my abdomen flowing all the way down to my nutsack and connection to my leg.
Don’t feel any significant pain on my right nut where an incision was made making me wonder if the doctor even operated on it. I had a cyst there that he said he was going to remove but also the varicocele. God knows if he actually did anything for it. Might get a doppler examination for that.
Currently doing research on clomid and hcg, considering clomid therapy soon.
Will keep updating. Hopefully someone is reading this and not feeling scared of what they are experiencing.
