I recently had an ultrasound of my testicles. The test showed some epididymitis and a small varicocele and a small hydrocele. After some encouragement from me, the doctor put me on an antibiotic. Things are a little better, but I'm still achy. The doctor recommended that I wear jockstraps. I have been doing so. They help. (I have to admit that not many people sell jocks any more, esp. Bike made ones. I've found many cups, but not regular jocks.) Sorry, I digress. The jocks help, but what I don't understand is why some of the tight underwear I have (e.g. a jockey pouch brief) causes the pain to resurface, while the jocks help the pain. It just doesn't make sense. I want to be able to wear these, and I quickly run out of clean jocks.
