Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I had one when I was 8 years old....it actualy was in my ball sack..the doctor had to stuff it back up and all has been well....for the past 2 weeks my nuts have been sore and I now notice a thick cord like thing that connects to my left nut...like a bunch of veins or somthing....any ways any one else ever had this problem?? I just started back up on a cycle so I was also considering maybe my nuts are just swelling back up?

Do the cough and feel method. Youd feel a buldge when your coughing or putting internal pressure.
It doesn't sound like a hernia.

Read this article bro.............I am pretty sure this is what you have.

All veins contain valves that reduce back pressure and keep blood flowing in one direction - toward the heart. If one of these valves becomes weak or fails to function properly, back pressure can build up inside the vein, producing a pool of heavy, stagnant blood. Over time, this pooled blood and back pressure can build up enough to cause swelling in the vein, producing a varicose vein or varicocele.
It is helpful to draw an analogy between the body's circulatory network and the cooling system in an automobile. Most people know that a typical automobile engine is protected from overheating by a system that circulates a cooling fluid through it in a continuous loop. A similar process occurs in the human body: blood pumped to the outer extremities by the heart is cooled to a constant temperature as it returns through the veins.
However, because blood flows sluggishly through a varicose vein, cooling of the blood in a varicocele is incomplete. When a varicocele develops in one of the veins of the spermatic cord (known collectively as the pampiniform plexus), the temperature of the blood within it increases. This, in turn, raises the temperature of the testes. Because sperm are sensitive to heat, this increase in temperature can decrease the production of healthy sperm, leading to male infertility.
Although a varicocele can develop in either or both testicles, in most men the problem occurs on the left testicle. There is a physiological reason for this, too: The spermatic cord on the left side is longer and takes a more circuitous route back toward the heart. It connects to the left kidney vein, which has higher blood pressure within it. The higher blood pressure on this side increases the likelihood of swelling in a weakened vein. By contrast, the right testicular vein is usually shorter. It connects directly to the vena cava - the primary vein leading to the heart - which is characterized by lower blood pressure. For this reason, varicoceles of the right testicle are uncommon.

thanks guys......
I think if it doesnt go away by next week I will go and get it checked out!!! I read a little about that epididmytis and they make it sound like an std!!??
TIme to question the girlfriend?? I need a docs opinion for sure.....ever since my abcess surgery I have been scared to death of those fuckin doctors!!
