HELLO VINEET,
It sounds like you are describing varicocele- an enlargement of veins in the scrotum, often more common on the left side,
YOUR SYMPTOMS -pain from abdomen to left testicle -âpouch of veinsâ that feels swollen or heavy -chronic for about 1 year
IMPORTANT NOTE Varicocele itself is not always dangerous, but it can sometimes affect fertility or cause persistent pain. Since you have had symptoms for a year and the pain is affecting your daily life, you should first get a confirmed diagnosis by a qualified urologist using Doppler ultrasound. This is important to rule out other causes like inguinal hernia, testicular torsion history, or kidney related vein obstruction
In Ayurveda, a varicocele can be related to siragranthi-vein swelling, caused by vata vitiation along with involvement of rakta - blood and kapha. chronic strain, constipation, prolonged standing, and excessive heat can aggravate it
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water =supports urinary and reproductive system health
2) PUNARNAVADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with water twice daily before meals =reduces swelling and improves circulation
3) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals = useful for glandular swellings and vein blockages
4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 5 gm with warm milk at bedtime =strengthens muscles and reduces vata related nerve pain
5) ARJUNA KSHEERAPAK= 100 ml once daily warm in morning = improves blood vessel tone
EXTERNAL THERAPIES
-OIL MASSAGE with dhanwantaram taila around lower abdomen, groin, and thighs =gentle ,not directly on testicle
DIET AND LIFESTYLE -Avoid prolonged standing or heavy lifting -prevent constipation= eat fibre rich foods green vegetables, papaya, figs -include warm milk with turmeric at night for anti-inflammatory support -avoid excessive spicy, sour, and deep fried food -stay hydrated avoid alcohol, and smoking
SUPPORTIVE MEASURES -wear supportive underwear which reduces vein pressure -yoga= viparita karani, supta baddha konasana= improves venous return, but avoid poses that strain abdomen -manage body weight and core strength
WHEN SURGERY IS CONSIDERED -If pain persist or there are signs of testivular shrinkage, microsurgical varicocelectomy is often advisedâŚ

HELLO VINNET,
A varicocele is a swelling of veins inside the scrotum- usually on the left side- due to blood pooling in veins that drain the testicle. Think of it as varicose veins in the legs, but instead, itâs in the testicle area
SYMPTOMS -dull, aching pain from lower abdomen or groin to left testicle -heaviness or dragging sensation in the scrotum, especially while standing or after physical activity -visible or palpable âbag of wormsâ feeling above the testivle -may feel worse at the end of the day and relieved by lying down -may be associated with infertility due to poor sperm production
In Ayurveda, varicocele is correlated with -SIRAGRANTHI= knotted/swollen blood vessels -VATAJA SHOTHA= vata induced inflammaion -involves APANA VATA (downward-moving vata responsible for reproductive function)
DOSHA INVOLVEMENT VATA= responsible for nerve pain, movement, and circulation
RAKTA= impure or congested blood flow
PITTA(mild)= if thereâs burning or inflammation
DHATU INVOLVED -rakta (blood) -mamsa (muscle) -shukra (reproductive tissue)
SROTAS(BODY CHANNELS) -Shukravaha srotas= reproductive channels -raktavaha srotas= blood channels
TREATMENT GOALS -PACIFY VATA= to relieve pain, improve circulation and tone veins -BALANCE RAKTA= improve blood quality and flow, reduce stagnation -STRENGTHEN VEINS AND NERVES= using rejuvination herbs -REDUCE SWELLING= through internal and external formualtions -SUPPORT FERTILITY= if affected, protect sperm health -DETOXIF= mild detox to clear metabolic waste
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) PUNARNAVADI GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =reduces swelling, improves kidney and lymphatic drainage
2) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months = shrinks abnormal tissue, helps with glandular swellings
3) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 2 months =balances vata and pitta, improves circulation to pelvic organs
4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night for 3 months =tonic for nerves, muscles, fertility, educes stress
5) SHILAJIT CAPSULES= 1 cap in morning empty stomach 500 mg =improves energy, tones veins, rejuvinates
6) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime for 3 months =detoxifier, supports digestion, and absorption
EXTERNAL TREATMENTS Used to relieve local symptoms and support healing
1) OIL MASSAGE -use warm mahanarayan taila -massage lower abdomen and inner thighs gently -avoid pressing the testicle directly -daily massage
2) HERBAL PASTE -boil herbs like punarnava, dashmoola, manjistha in water, make a thick paste -apply to groin area for 20 minutes, then wash with warm water
YOGA AND PRANAYAM these promote better blood flow, relieves pressure and balance vata
RECOMMENDED YOGA -Viparita karani= drains stagnant blood from scrotum -Sarvangasana= enhances testicular circulation -Setu bandhasana= pelvic floor strengthening -Supta bandhasana= relaxes groin and reproductive area -Balasana= relieves tension in lower abdomen
PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= balances vata, improves circulation -Bhramari= reduces stress and anxiety -Sheetali= cools down pitta
DIET TO BE FOLLOWED -warm, freshly cooked meals -ghee, cowâs milk(boiled), dates, soaked raisins -garlic, turmeric, ginger- boost circulation -mung dal, red rice, seasonal vegetables -pomegranate , amla, beetroot juice -herbal teas= triphala, ashwagandha, punarnava etc
AVOID -cold, raw or stale food -fried, processed, junk food -excessive sour, spicy, salty items -smoking, alcohol, caffeine -excessive sexual activity -sitting/standing for long periods without breaks
HOME REMEDIES
1) GARLIC AND SESAME OIL MASSAGE =warm and apply gently to groin =reduces congestion, improves circulation
2) TURMERIC+MILK =1/2 tsp turmeric in warm milk at night =anti-inflammatroy and blood purifier
3) SOAKED RAISINS (10-15 daily)= morning empty stomach =improves blood flow and fertility
INVESTIGATIONS To confirm and monitor the condition
1) SCROTAL ULTRASOUND WITH DOPPLER= confirms varicocele, measures severity
2) SEMEN ANALYSIS= if fertility is a concern
3) HORMONAL TESTS= FSH,LH, TESTOSTERONE
4) CBC, ESR, CRP
LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS
-wear supportive underwear (not tight) -Take breaks if standing/sitting too long -elevate legs during rest -stay stress free with yoga -sleep 7-8 hours
DONâTS -donât wear tight jeans or undergarments -donât lift heavy weights -avoid running/jumping -avoid overexertion -donât ignore pain signals
-Varicocele is not life-threatening , but it shouldnât be ignored, especially if there is pain or fertility concern -Ayurveda offers a approach to manage the condition, especially In early and moderate cases -surgery (varicocelectomy) may be required in advanced or unresponsive cases, but Ayurveda can still support healing pre/post surgery -CONSISTENCY IS KEY= the best results come with 3-6 months of disciplined lifestyle, medications and therapy
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

Foot end elvation while sleeping.
Raise the legs above the heart three or four times a day for 15 minutes at a time.
Care for wounds in which you have any open sores or infections.
Reduce weight if overweight.
Get more exercise. This can help you keep off weight and help move blood up your legs. Walking or swimming are good options.
Apathya
Do not sit or stand for long periods. Even moving your legs slightly helps keep the blood flowing.
Constipation
Varicocele, characterized by an abnormal enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, often resembles a âbag of worms.â This condition may occur when blood pools in the vein due to faulty valves, increasing pressure and causing heaviness or discomfort, particularly on the left side. As the condition has persisted for a year with pain, it is crucial to consult a medical professional for a formal diagnosis and potential treatments, especially if fertility concerns are present or if the pain exacerbates.
In addressing Varicocele through Ayurveda, the focus would generally be on improving blood circulation and reducing stagnation in the veins. Balancing the doshas involved can be crucial, particularly Pitta dosha that governs circulation and heat in the body. It may be beneficial to integrate the following suggestions within your routine:
1. Herbal Decoctions: Decoctions such as Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) and Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) might be beneficial. These herbs are traditionally known for their properties in supporting urinary tract health and cleansing the blood. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for the appropriate dosage.
2. Diet: Incorporate light, easily digestible foods, reducing intake of spicy or heat-inducing substances. Favor antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables which support vascular health. Avoid heavy, greasy foods, and limit intake of alcohol and smoking, which can exacerbate Pitta imbalance.
3. Yoga and Exercises: Practicing specific asanas such as Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) and Viparita Karani (legs-up-the-wall pose) can help improve venous return and reduce congestion in the pelvic area. However, avoid strenuous activities that may aggravate the condition.
4. Hydration: Maintain proper hydration to help dilute the blood and reduce viscosity, aiding flow and reducing pressure on varicosities.
Since the condition has persisted for an extended period with significant discomfort, it is advisable to follow-up with a healthcare provider, as surgical intervention (like Varicocelectomy) might be necessary for definitive relief and ensuring no further complications arise.
From your description, it sounds like you might be experiencing issues related to varicocele, a condition where the veins inside the scrotum become enlarged. This can lead to pain or a feeling of heaviness and is similar to varicose veins that can occur in the legs. In Siddha-Ayurveda, such conditions are often linked to imbalanced Vata dosha, which governs circulation and movement in the body.
To help manage and alleviate the discomfort, you can consider the following suggestions. First, maintaining good circulation is crucial. Regular gentle exercise, such as walking or yoga, can keep blood flowing smoothly. Poses that donât exert pressure but enhance circulation, like legs-up-the-wall pose (Viparita Karani), might be beneficial.
Consider integrating Ashwagandha and Guggulu into your routine, as these are traditionally known in Ayurveda for strengthening tissues and improving circulation. You can take Ashwagandha powder mixed with warm milk before bed, as it also supports calming your Vata.
In your diet, emphasize warmth and nourishment. Prepare meals with warming spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel to support digestion and circulation. Avoid cold foods and drinks which may aggravate Vata further.
Since youâre experiencing pain consistently, seeking attention from a healthcare professional to evaluate the need for further intervention is essential. Varicocele can sometimes require surgical intervention, especially if it persists and affects quality of life. Do not delay consulting a health professional to rule out or address anything urgent.
