Dear guys, check if you have #varicoceles

1. Usually in your left scrotum
2. Feels like a "bag of worms"
3. May disappear when you lie down
4. Can cause severe pain
It's a common cause of infertility in men which can be corrected with surgery.

A thread 🧵

RT for awareness
#Varicocele is an enlargement of the veins inside the scrotum. It affects about 15% of adult men.

It may occur due to poorly functioning valves normally found in the veins.

Or due to compression of a vein by a nearby structure such as tumor or cancer of the left kidney.
People with #varicoceles may have:

• A noticeable swollen vein in the scrotum (as shown in this pic)
• A disturbing feeling of weight in the scrotum
• Pain in the scrotum which increases on standing, &
• Shrinking of the testicles

Sometimes, none of these symptoms occur.
In fact, some people with #varicoceles will feel nothing more than a dull, aching or dragging pain in their scrotum which gets worse after exercise or at the end of the day.
Although #Varicoceles may not produce symptoms, they are a common cause of low sperm count & infertility in men.

Sperm cells are very fragile & varicoceles create abnormal temperature inside the testis.

This might kill some sperm or reduce their quality, leading to infertility.
#Varicoceles that cause no symptoms typically require no treatment.

But if symptoms occur, a surgery called #varicocelectomy can be done to restore proper blood flow to your testis and hence restore fertility.

Many men are able to impregnate their women after this surgery.
#Varicocelectomy is a safe procedure that has a high chance of improving your fertility. Talk to your doctor about whether this surgery is necessary.

To help someone on your timeline with infertility due to varicoceles, kindly RT.

You can be healthy without being fit and you can be fit without being healthy.

In everything you do strive to be healthy

Fitness can be optional but necessary

Now understand that

Health and fitness are not the same things.
Health means all the systems of your body are functioning at peak levels or close to it.

Fitness means you're able to perform athletic tasks.

Ideally, you can be both physically fit and healthy,

But often, most people aren't.
You're young, in your 20s, you gym, you lift for 2 hours straight, no stretching, little cardio.

You focus on the muscles everyone can see, then probably take a couple of pictures to post for validation on SM

HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING ONIONS

Love them or hate them, onions are everywhere. Although they are not often eaten alone, they are used to embellish or add flavor to an incredible array of foods. Preparing onions can be a little difficult due
to their strong odor and ability to make the eyes water, but that’s just more evidence of the onion’s potency when it comes to fighting disease and improving health. For those that don’t care for the taste of onion,
it can often be added to a recipe and not even noticed, particularly after being cooked. These are some of the health benefits onions have to offer.

1. BUG KILLER

9 SYMPTOMS MEN SHOULD NEVER IGNORE

There are a host of “little” things that can go wrong with our bodies that might be easy to dismiss as “normal” or “temporary” that may actually be a signal that something much more serious is going on.
Many people – especially men – have a natural tendency to want to avoid certain things like going to the doctor, for example. Most of us don’t want to face the possibility that something serious might be wrong with us, and as a result, we put off going to
have something checked out. Instead we might just ignore the problem while we hope that it gets better on its own. Although many problems will resolve with a little time, the most serious problems are quite unlikely to just go quietly away, and should be addressed as

It’s quite likely that millions of people are living their lives without knowing that they have diabetes, and that’s a risk that can lead to serious health problems such as nerve damage, vision problems, kidney disease, heart attack and stroke.
Today there are more ways to treat and control diabetes than ever before, including diet and lifestyle changes that can even eliminate diabetes completely in some cases. Before diabetes can be treated it must be recognized.
