[QUOTE="IronKnight, post: 103037, member: 17473"] If I go higher than 2g / day of fish oils, for example, if I go on 6-8g / day for a couple of weeks, I know I will have a very strong pain in my left testicle. My reasoning for this is as follows: 1) I have a third grade varicocele on that testicle, therefore that one hurts, the other one (right) doesn't 2) Fish oils make your blood thinner or more "slippery", if you have a varicocele and the blood is thinner because you are going heavy with the fish oil, the reflux can only be greater, meaning the blood that should go back to the heart falls down harder on the testicle instead, explaining the pain. 3) If I don't go too heavy with the fish oils, the pain is bearable and most of the time I don't notice too much. I will soon have varicocele microsurgery and hope to be able to use 6-8g of fish oils daily without pain shortly after, as this is important for a lot of health benefits and improving cholesterol numbers, joint health, etc. In short: Yes, Fish oils / Omega 3 [B]can[/B] cause testicular pain [B]IF[/B] you have a varicocele. In those cases, if you use large doses the testicle with the varicocele will likely hurt, it may take a couple of weeks for the pain to become too much to withstand. Btw, there is some evidence of 100-150ng/dl Testosterone increases after varicocele surgery, I'll keep you guys updated :) [/QUOTE]
