[QUOTE="OldSoul, post: 48431, member: 12767"] Hi all, So I am fairly certain I have a varicocele. My nurse practitioner seemed fairly ignorant to them, and said I definitely had some swelling when she checked, but after an STD test came back negative she said I didn't have a varicocele. Even though I can 100% tell 1 or 2 veins (or whatever they are) within my scrotum are much thicker and harder than before, and also having a dull aching "blue balls" type of pain that continuously comes and goes. I've also been struggling with low T like symptoms ([url]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?5993-New-Guy-Here-TSH-3-9-Very-fatigued-stomach-digestion-issues-brain-fog-little-motivation-etc[/url], [url]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?6466-New-labs-Free-T-low-TSH-dropped-from-3-9-to-2-5&p=35310#post35310[/url]) I had a consult with Dr. Crisler of Defy and he said my SHBG is high at 47, and my Free T is low at 1.6%. Though because I am only 31 (32 next month), he said he was unsure of what to do and didn't want to put me on TRT for life just yet. I plan to see a new doctor as soon as possible about the varicocele and get that properly diagnosed. My question is, could my fatigue issues be due to the varicocele? I've read it can have a big effect on your testosterone levels. However, I couldn't find any information about if it causes high SHBG, which from what I understand is likely to be the reason for my low Free T. I've also read at Peak Testosterone that many men who have varicocele repaired see a significant boost in their T levels. I didn't see anything about it lowering SHBG though. Without any insurance, I am not sure having it repaired is in the cards anytime soon as I saw the price was roughly $10,000. Though if it needs to be repaired I will figure out a way. Any info for me on varicocele causing low and/or high SHBG? Thanks all! [/QUOTE]
