Congestive pain cured with papaya seed powder!

#21

Sure, stress lowers T levels. But studies have shown men with vasectomies do not have a higher incidence of testosterone deficiency and some studies actually show an increase in it.

#22

Just ordered a batch. Itā€™s a $13 chance Iā€™m willing to take to feel better from what I believe is congestion!

#23

Iā€™m doing that just one difference, I take half a teaspoon at night before bed with a glass of milk. Got my fingers crossed.

#24

Ugh, Iā€™m back again. thought the pain had gone away, but realized it was just being masked by eating like shit which temporarily ā€œnumbedā€ me. I still have pain every day. I can play drum still but Iā€™m considering a reversal again :confused: Iā€™m not sure about this powder. Has anyone actually had reversal of PVPS from a vas reversal here?
Thanks

#25

At least from the stories on here most have seen improvements. But I would say most of those cases are 5 on the pain level and above in their day to day. A few on here have reported being a little bit worse after all. You should pin your decision on what your pain might be.

Idk. my pain comes and goes. When I stopped replying on this site it had gone down to maybe 1-3/10ā€¦now itā€™s come back and is around 5-6/10. Still not as bad as when it was unbearable and burning, pinching, stabbing constantly, but itā€™s still hindering my ability to workā€¦and again, Iā€™m only 24.

Week two has definitely deflated my epy to say half size. Usually after sex itā€™s like a cone on the base of my testy. Did not do that tonight first time and I donā€™t know how long it laid flattened out and just raised a little.

Has not helped much with the pain yet. But I am hopeful.

Placebo? Idk I but I think itā€™s actually doing something just not helping where I want it to.

#28

I see. I need something that reduces this pain at least so I can work, this is debilitating.
Iā€™m debating a reversal, but mainly I just want a surgery to get the fibrosis and entrapped nerves out, thatā€™s what Iā€™m told by Brad Bowins is the only thing to reduce the pain.

#29

Been taking it almost two weeks. No effect so far.

#30

Iā€™m entering week three of taking it perhaps @Rodger is a sales man lol.

My pain has gone down perhaps a notch. My epy has shrunk on average so maybe it is contributing. I take a small dose before bed though. Your producing the most in the morning I think. Do you think you have congestion?

#31

Not sure what I have pain wise. Itā€™s very diffuse and doesnā€™t seem to respond to sex or anything else really. Itā€™s just always there. Sometimes I think tighter pants make it worse, but I donā€™t know why; it doesnā€™t really hurt to the touch.

#32

This is week 4. I think I can tentatively say that this stuff has helped. I havenā€™t felt my epis in awhile, and Iā€™m trending better. That said, I was already slowly trending better, so the papaya could be just more of the same. That said, it doesnā€™t bother my stomach, and itā€™s probably not bad for me.

Hi Rodger,

I had a closed-ended vasectomy done in Dec 16 and have been experiencing discomfort pretty much ever since even through the wound healed pretty fast. Iā€™ve reached exactly the same conclusions as you for myself and was seriously considering (i) having a procedure to convert to an open-ended vasectomy or (ii) vasectomy reversal as you said, but it really does defeat the whole purpose of the thing!

Anyway I also got to thinking along the same lines as you and also hit on papaya seeds as a possible solution since it was the only substance that it seemed I could realistically get hold of and use regularly. I purchase my first papaya this morning and then I thought Iā€™d search and see if anyone else had tried this and I found you.

Anyway, if you have any specific advice around this it would be very much appreciated (and of course whether it is still working!!) Iā€™m in the UK and papaya seed powder is harder to come by here. However, if itā€™s got a good chance of working Iā€™d spend the money on importingā€¦did you use a particular brand?

Best
Gavin

Whatā€™s up guysā€¦

Wanted to share my story with papayaā€¦I was giving it some time before commenting. But, iā€™d be remiss if I didnā€™t share with you guys.

Iā€™m not going to get into too many of my details - my story can be found on the site.

I did have a pretty intense bout with epididimoorchitis two months post surgery. Iā€™ve been rather full and large in the scrotum ever since. Iā€™ve never been comfortable, radiated between a 2-4 pain most days, always felt full, and had early prostate issues and have had a host of other issues, systemically, since the surgery.

Anyhow, iā€™ve been on the papaya seed powder, same one as @Rodger, since about January 2. I did plenty of research after Rodger brought it to the forum, and figured it wouldnā€™t hurt to try it.

I canā€™t really comment, yet, on my systemic issuesā€¦though some days I do feel like there have been improvements.

But down below, I feel light as a feather. Itā€™s actually a nice feeling to have. I am no where near as uncomfortable as I was before. I will have a random twinge here and there, but overall, I feel much better with regards to that. I have little doubt that the papaya seed works to decrease sperm volume. I am very curious to know the mechanism behind how it works, but I definitely have noticed an improvement after the 6 weeks iā€™ve been taking.

Will keep you guys posted.

#35

Any further updates on this possible remedy for congestion pain?

#36

I just ordered myself some of this stuff. I will post my results, and conclusion in time. @Jpw, did you ever order yourself some?

#37

I ordered some months ago but I havenā€™t gotten around to taking it. Monkey research says 3 month for complete stoppage of sperm. Iā€™d give it another 2 months after that before itā€™s completely eliminated from your body.

#38

Thanks for the input.

I am trying to further narrow down what is causing the pressure, and pain here. Is it congestion, varicocele, both? Papaya seed therapy should tell me something in time.

I plan to stick with the regiment once I start. Hopefully I donā€™t have any side effects associated with it. I will post a detailed account with my experience. This stuff is so cheap, and DIY, I have to give it a whirl. I consider myself a bit of a slacker for not doing this once I read about it. Iā€™ve been on a bad run of post ejaculate pain for days now. A good reminder to get on with it.

#39

I would try Papaya seed just to see if it had any other sort of pain relief properties but I am a reversal guy that is still open, I donā€™t have testicular pain, and papaya seeds have the added benefit of killing parasites. I infected myself with 40 hookworms last summer and since then Iā€™ve had very few bad outbreaks of inflammation and pain in my gut so I want to keep my colony alive.
If I had pressure pain at all though Iā€™d be all over this.

#40

I did, but iā€™ve been forgetting to take 1-2 tsp/day since I started a new job >.>
