Chronic epididymitis (Men’s problems)

I’ve had Chronic epididymitis for approximately 20 years now.

The pain is very similar to being kicked in the balls. I’ve dealt with the pain (usually once a week, with masturbation) to relive the buildup of sperm fluid. The problem is: I really HATE masturbation with a passion, as it is very painful for me. Since my mental health has improved so much, I recently decided to tackle this problem in a different way. Instead of waiting the end of every week (when the pain is unbearable), I’ve decided to put up with a smaller amount of pain every day. So far this is working, and I’m really noticing a huge difference in my wellbeing. I just hope this continues to work. Gavin.

Epididymitis is an inflammation of the coiled tube, called the epididymis, at the back of the testicle. The epididymis stores and carries sperm. Males of any age can get epididymitis.

It’s been two weeks now and I feel like I’m no longer self harming (with masturbation). Very grateful for this. G.

I’m sugar free

For me the best thing I’ve done for myself is to be off sugar.

I lived on sugar as a child. Cordial drinks after school. Sweet homemade biscuits. Dinner was always followed by dessert, and in the evening, we had sweets and chocolates. This was every day!

Then as an adult, chocolate was one of the three food groups. Red wine, Coffee and Chocolate. I would buy it in bulk. Seven 250-gram blocks at a time. I would often eat two of these a day. That’s 500 grams of chocolate !!!

I’m now 58 and I’m overweight. So being sugar free is the key to feeling really good. It’s like being a different person!

When I eat sugar, I feel sluggish, bloated and fuzzy in the head. Sugar gives me a false sense of peace, just like alcohol does. Being sugar free takes courage but very much worth it 100%
