What form of magnesium did you take and at what dosages? Also though, if a deficiency of magnesium is a cause of varicocele, why does it almost always happens specifically on the left side, and not the right? The fact that it specifically happens on the left should point at something more complex than just systemic magnesium deficiency right?Magnesium made mine greatly improve. If you took vitamin D and your Varicocele got worse, that’s a major clue. It’s well known that Vitamin D causes people symptoms when they’re low in magnesium.
I stopped consuming so much calcium and started with around 800 mg magnesium throughout the day. It doesn’t happen overnight, but I got better after a few days. I’m not going to tell you what to do, just what worked for me.
Would blood flow be a problem in the presence of muscle compression, compressing the vein?I don't think blood flow is really a problem. The main way that varicose veins mess with blood flow is by letting some blood flow backwards.
Studies have shown that testosterone and seminal quality decline over years with varicocele. It won't be as bad for an 18 year old with one as a 40 year old with one. Testicular damage is the main issue. We know this because men with varicoceles often develop softer than normal testicles.
Also,
What exactly does this mean, I mean does the testicle actively secrete estrogen? Or does testosterone get aromatized to estrogen in the left testicle? What I specifically mean is, if an excess of estrogen in the body causes a varicose vein, why does it always happen in that particular spot at the left testicle, and not somewhere else?Haidut mentioned before that varicoceles are very likely caused by the estrogen boost at puberty.
