Marijuana and the Hydocele

for those who do not know what a hydrocele is, it is a liquid filled sack that grows inside the testicle. it can range from small to the size of a large orange and the pain of it is just as varying.

In my case, it is approximately the size of 2 pingpong balls. (hopefully this wont disturb you) and causes no pain, just a minor inconvenience.

The treatment i will be undergoing in july is quick, relatively painless, and 95% success rate at preventing any recurrence of it. however, it is surgury, and i am searching for less invasive alternatives.

In my internet browsing, i came across an interesting reference to a medeival method in the cannabisculture.com site. Healing leaves

"The dried leaves bruised and spread on a castor oil leaf cure hydrocele and swelled testes..."

is this a logical or even practical idea? where may i find more detailed information on it? because if it is viable, it would be wonderful to provide further study of medical cannabis use.

Probably more anecdotal than actually helpful... Some application of certain leaves can alleviate a bit of swelling if it's something like a sprained ankle or a bump on the head, but I doubt it's got any actual use, and if it does, it's most likely coincidental. I believe in alternative and herbal medicine, but this just doesn't seem practical.

Good luck with the surgery, and let us know how it goes :D

hmm....strike one on that idea.

meh. if i find im outgrowing myself over the next few months, i may give it a try for a week and see if anything happens. worst case scenario, ill get high through my nuts...but id love to know if anyone can recomend any truth to this idea, or provide thier own.
