Marijuana And It's Effect On The Prostate/Sexual Organs

Just wanted to say I've been smoking pot for around 10 years now and have recently got epididymitis. I visited the doctor a few years ago and complained about a dull aching pain in my left testicle. He said smoking was restricting blood flow and causing this and there was nothing he could do. Well I left and lay of smoking as best I could and it seemed to go away. I occasionally was revisited my this dull ache again and again over the years each time cutting my smoking back. The other day it returned and by the nextday the pain was so bad I had to visit the doc as it was becoming debilitating. She examined me and suggested I go for an ultrasound and uralisis. The next day when I woke up the pain a size of swelling merited a trip to ER, an over night stay and some cipro, diclofenac and cocodomal. The swelling still there 4 days on and smoking is making it ache like it always did. My research brought me here. Funny thing is I just got some really nice blue cheese and G13. I guess the day I would have to quit would always come, suppose finnishishing this bag might help with pain and rest. Thanks for letting me no about the inflametry properties in weed

Those people who swear weed has no I'll side effects are deluding themselves. Like I have done if only there were more medical studies in to cannabis I may have known this. Guess to much of a good thing can be bad.

i believe it. i'm sure the inflammatory effect wont be noticable to many, but from my research and experience that sounds legit. I have to say tho all in all there are very few negative side affects with marijuana. and i bet FingerStickingGood had at least some level of high blood pressure before this instance. but then again when u smoke anything it can cause hypertension, could be mostly if not all the CO2 u inhale.

Hey guys, been doing a lot of research lately on this matter as well, but info is scarce at best....I have smoked since 18 everyday, now 36. Never had issues until recently, but this past year I had some abdominal pain and rectal bleeding and found out I had colorectal cancer which was stage 1, biopsied and removed (thank God!). After the surgery, I still had pain in left testicle and lower abdomen (below belly button) and was diagnosed with epididymitis and prostatitis. I have been on several antibiotics for over 6 months which help, but not resolving the pain. I have found that marijuana is contributing to my pain/lack of healing with these issues unfortunately. I wouldn't say it caused the initial epididymitis or prostatitis (possible), but I have dull/sometimes quick sharp pains (may even go down my left leg) when I smoke and can tell you the marijuana is definitely not helping it heal as I get flare ups within minutes of smoking. Going to take a break and see if it will go away!! Probably going to have to start vaping and put away the Roor except for special occasions when I return, but time will tell. Hopefully the other two will return and update, but as much as I hate to say it, there is definitely a correlation if you are experiencing these signs/symptoms. Toke if you can, take a break if you need too!

There are people that are allergic to MJ..so why wouldn't some people get other adverse reactions?

not to mention that nearly everyone who says ya mj makes it worse happens to be a stranger.

I may be a stranger to these boards, but not pot! I am a chronic user which hopefully taking a break or cutting back will help with. I'm just posting what I am experiencing as it was a small relief to find a few people like myself having similar issues as there is little to false info everywhere on the net. I for one say smoke pot! It has lots of benefits, but doesn't mean it doesn't cause side effects or issues with certain populations of people overtime.

I am a real person, not affiliated with any cause or agenda. I love pot, but I love my body/health a bit more (barely.. and just want some real life answers and the pain to go away! I am hoping vaping will help as I want to blame it on the carcoinogens of combustion. THC to my understanding is an anti-inflammatory and you would think it should help, but it aggravates it more. SIGH! I hate to take a break, but its all I got right now!

I plan to update as others say they will, but don't.....hopefully I can report back with good news!

OK, forum mate. Here's some personal experience. I have had epididymitis. It isn't an infection, it's called Taxi Drivers' Balls. An inflamation, but since it's almost always mechanical, just taking meds alone won't do it.

It is far more commonly the result of banging around on bad roads with bad tranportation. Add the filth you smoked with the -sheesh contains, who knows what, pathagens for us travelers. I don't know anyone who has ever been to India without getting sick, really sick. This includes the foreign workers that go back after a few years of US work visa.

So, I think you could be mis-treating and mis-diagnoising. And crossing the logic up, as a result.

- Generally cannabis oil is very good long term anti-inflamitory. I use if for this. TOPICALLY. And I use it carefully, in oral dose. It builds up. I build up the dose to 1/10 gram/night.

- THC is flamatory. The more the better the cough. ,<hemmm>

I take you at face value, until otherwise. So, here is my suggestion.

You have to rest and ice the area. You have to get a rubber donut to sit on in your car, to isolate the vibrations. Switch to briefs, maybe? Most important, no Blue Balls. Ya here me now??

Get the cannabis that is couch lock, moderate in THC and higher in CBD. An Indica strain. Eat some oil every night, if you can. Start with ice now and get a donut. Then maybe a month. BTW, I currently have pulled muscle in my stomach from exercise and the good stuff will make me feel that more. So, don't connect cause and effect.

Lucky dude! I got to stage III before the opened me up. So, you have heard that and now I will tell you this. You are being triaged, medically, right now.

The first triage is your own inattention. I tell you now that 40 is when you need your first full bowel scan. Don't go the Sigmoid. That is not worth the pain. It only shows a few inches in. 40 years old. Male or Female. Don't be denied for any reason. We are basically self insured in this world, dispite what relief we can get from work insurance, etc.

Pay for it yourself, if you have to.

Yeah, I had the sigmoid and a colonoscopy at age 36, the sigmoid was definitely worse as your awake and no pain meds, very uncomfortable to say the least. Not sure what you mean by triaged???

Its Day 2 of not smoking, I'm a bigger addict than I realized...lol, but I do feel better today as I have only had a few sharp pains! Coincidence?... or maybe I'm just having a good day....

I might have to look into this. I get a dull pain in my coin purse (aka testicles) from time to time, and sometime a horrible shooting pain. hmmm
Damn these balls of mine.

Triage: Broadly, is the art, and macabra science, of medical resource assignment. It goes all the way from the having to choose to catch the baby and break your wife's foot, to secret panels that decide what a Dr. can and cannot tell a patient.

So, sadly, I've come to realize the Hippo oath, Do No Harm, is being extended to shield the Heath Care Complex, in general. Interlocking indemnities have create something that I have learned as double speak. I know too much about it, now, that it is doublly un-speakable.

So, we are a self sorting health question society, to some degree. If you don't go to the Doctor, keep yourself healthy. etc that's the first level Self Triage;

Next is a warning sign. The doctor may say "If we hear hoofbeat, it's probably horses, not zebras, right?" No. He is putting you off, to let your complaint presemt. He's Hippo.That's OK. If you overly present and technically, actually die. That's OK.

"We don't normally run that test. It's probably not even what you think." He doesn't know you. He sees wimps and idiot complainers, all day long. He can't know what you feel and pain is such a red herring, Pain. Under my shoulder blade for a gas bublle under my diapharm? I digress.

So, this is, after you get there, Self Triage Level 2

We have to study, and discuss, be willing to put in your effort. Recognize these double talk phrases and insist. They will fold and note that you insisted. But, must know your
beans, man. They can't waste time. Get the tests.

Self Triage Level 3

Forewarned is fore armed. Learn your body and then go with the the expert' advice. They are not saviors, they are not really detectives. They advise. You. If you don't care,
don't expect them to. They won't, really, but they need to see you involved.

I watched my mother just blow off the Doctors opinions, and say she doesn't like the idea of it. Or the machine pinches. I watch her give all these guys the out to
say fine, OK, I'll so note it. No test for you.

So #3 is about being sceptical and ask for more details. And it is about not diagnoising ourselves. That makes us a fool of a patient.

I linked mistakenly linked my gut pain to anything but a giant gut cancer. Doctors said, "You are too young!" Double talk. "Oh, you said you thought is was a muscle pull. I'll make a note of that." Double talk. I woke up in a ambulance, not many days later.

Hippocratic Oath:

I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement:
To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art; and that by my teaching, I will impart a knowledge of this art to my own sons, and to my teacher's sons, and to disciples bound by an indenture and oath according to the medical laws, and no others.
I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.
I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.
I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.
In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.
All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all humanity and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my life.

he didnt want to treat your tumour (stone) because he held his oath sacred. you shoulda gone to a barber. he woulda cut that thing out lickety split. and given you a lollypop.

If I had a tumor, I'd name it Marla.

Marla, the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you would stop tonguing it, but you can't...

I know what you are saying Dr. Kynes. I williingly take part in medical experiment but would NOT have lived though the barbary of a surgen barber. And the drugs have gotten a lot better, lately, too. So I just don't think the Insurance companies should force infromation triage on the Doctors.

But, there were several Doctors that said I was too far along to save, and I should just take Marla for a cruise ship vacation. She would like that.

Self Triage Level #4

My husband has stage 4 prostate cancer. He has been taking the oil as treatment for 2 1/2 months. His psa has so far remained constant, but before he started the oil, it was doubling every 4-6 weeks. I think you should definitely change your method of consumption if smoking is causing you problems.

Thanks for that and Stage 4 very serious, of course. I wish him all the best recovery. That's a very intersting factoid about the oil.
