Brief Answer: Congestion in Vas & Varicocele. 3 to 6 hours. Detailed Answer: Hello, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Masturbation or sexual arousal that does not terminate in ejaculation can cause congestion in the sperm carrying tubes, resulting in a dull aching sensation in the testicle. This is harmless and pain disappears within a few hours or in a day. Felling of heaviness in left testicle may be due to varicocele. The veins that drain blood away from the testicles in the scrotum can become varicose. It can be easily identified by examination. This may affect your fertility. It can be corrected by surgery. Combiflam is a combination of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. Effectiveness of drugs vary from individual to individual. Usually the effectiveness starts in 15 to 30 minutes after intake and may last for 3 to 6 hours. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer: Not Necessary. Pain killers and Athletic support Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for your reply. First thing you have to do is confirm whether you have varicocele or not by routine physical examination by your treating doctor. Most varicoceles are easy to diagnose and many don't need treatment. With time, varicoceles may enlarge and become more noticeable. If your discomfort is worry some and increasing in future, you may need surgery varicocele repair. There is no medical treatment for Varicocele. But you can take Pain killers like Ibuprofen for pain. Wear snug-fitting underwear, such as briefs, or an athletic supporter. Just about everybody.

Brief Answer: Not a major issue. bag of worms. Baby oil or lubri Detailed Answer: Hello, Yes. This is not a major issue. Just use the pain medicines and wear the scrotal bandage as prescribed your treating doctor. You can self examine the scrotum for any Varicocele. Perform this test during or after a shower. This way, the scrotal skin is warm and relaxed. It's best to do the test while standing. Gently feel your scrotal sac to locate a testicle. Hold the testicle with one hand while firmly but gently rolling the fingers of the other hand over the testicle to examine the entire surface. Repeat the procedure with the other testicle. I f you have the varicocele, you may feel soft collection of thin tubes above the testicle and it may be a collection of widened veins like " Bag of worms". For safe masturbation, Allocate the particular time twice or thrice in week. I usually do not encourage masturbation regularly ( ie multiple times per day). Because this may ruin your time and mind. In fact many young male, get fear and distressed by their thoughts of being addicted to masturbation. Find the pleasant place like bedroom for masturbation. Use baby oil or lubricant cream to masturbate. This may decrease friction pain and congestion. Hope this helps. please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer: Epididymitis. Need Antibiotics and Pain killers. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for your reply. As the pain is severe and feeling a lump above the testicle is not a varicocele. Further masturbation does not affect varicocele. I suspect it to be due to Epididymitis. Too frequent or too infrequent ejaculation, sexual arousal without ejaculation, and withdraw at the time of ejaculation are just
 some of the factors that may predispose to epididymitis. The epididymis is the tubular structure located behind the testicle that drains sperm from 
the testis to the vas deferens and eventually out the ejaculatory ducts and then into Urethra. Typical signs of epididymitis are swelling of the scrotal skin with loss of the normal skin folds (rugae), redness of the skin, enlargement of the epididymis ( lump above the testicle) and testicle, and local tenderness and pain that is eased by elevation of the testicle. It can be treated with antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin and Painkillers like Ibuprofen. Wearing of scrotal support and warm baths will be helpful. Thus you need further Physical examination, Urinalysis and Ultrasound Scrotum to confirm the diagnosis. Usually the pain is gone in a few days but the swelling may persist for several weeks. Treatment should be instituted by a urologist after a proper and prompt evaluation. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer: Do not Masturbate.Reduced physical activity & Rest Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for your reply. Usually it may take upto one or two weeks to relieve inflammation and pain. But swelling may take upto 3 months to subside. There is not a need to consider that masturbating will help with the pain, when in fact you are not going be affected by it. Masturbation may cause inflammation and worsen your epididymitis. I believe that you should not do this and wait for the course of your antibiotics and pain killers to complete before you engage in any form of Masturbation or sexual activity. Warm bath is nothing but Sitting in a warm water tub for 20 minutes a day helps lessen inflammation. You need scrotal support, with an athletic supporter or tight jockey style underwear, lessens the tension of the spermatic cord. As I already said, Non Sterioidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs like Ibuprofen and Warm Bath, Scrotal Support with Rest, if necessary antibiotics ( if Your examination and Investigation shows any infection signs) can provide pain relief and reduce swelling quickly. It is not advisable to engage in any vigorous physical activity before getting cured. Because Reduction in physical activity and scrotal support are important factor in treating the epididymitis. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer: No. You should not play. Both Alternatively. Fruit Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for your reply. As i already said, you should not play for few weeks till the inflammation and the pain are cleared. Because, This game needs vigorous physical activity and may prolong the healing and chronicity of epidydimitis. If you got injured in scrotum, then it makes the epididymitis worse. There is no specific diet for Epididymitis. You can take food as usual include plenty of fruits and vegetables in foods. As they are rich in antioxidants and vitamins which promote healing. You can have both Ice pack and warm bath alternatively. both are indented to reduce pain and inflammation. Give rest and take medications and get cured. Hope this helps.
