Alternative Therapies for Varicocele: Homeopathy and Other Natural Remedies
Varicocele and Alternative Treatments Varicocele can be described as a medical problem which is caused by the swelling of veins of the scrotum, particularly in the pampiniform, or plexus which is a set of veins that drain testosterone from testicles. This condition is common and affects 15% of men and more often occurs among males who are infertile. Varicoceles tend to be unnoticeable however, in some cases they can trigger discomfort or pain. They can also cause infertility. If the veins of the scrotum grow they can raise the temperature of the testicles. This may affect the production and function of sperm and lead men to be infertile. Most of the time they are detected by ultrasound, physical examination or other imaging techniques.

Laundry Day
Paul had been dragging his feet for two weeks, but there was no beating around the bush anymore. He'd worn the same pair of boxer shorts for three days in a row, after turning them inside-out of course. Also, he wasn't sure his boss would deem a pair of polka-dot Bermuda shorts - the only clean pants he had left - work appropriate. Even his bedsheets could do with a wash. With great reluctance, he stuffed the entire contents of his hamper into an oversized drawstring bag and hauled it down the five flights of stairs to the laundry room in his apartment complex's basement.

New friends.... Runner-Up in Absurdist Awakening Challenge.
My 7:30 am alarm buzzes as I snatch up the keys to my ‘Blue Bug’. The roller door moans upwards as I hastily select a cheerful playlist to speed me across town. “Oh, for a quick trip to work.” Today’s delay crossing an endless chain of highway traffic, is mercifully brief. Blue Bug leaps out and seamlessly slots in between a tortoise and hare. “Off to a good start, for once.” Cruising up to the traffic lights I wish the trip could be varied instead of the same boring route until the end of time. Soon, the Turn Right Lane looms. Before I realise, we’re zipping off to the left. “No, No, No!” Too late! A sea of vibrant metal popcorn engulfs us — rushing this way and that — we pour with it, now heading west. Mind racing along with Blue Bug, I frantically strive for damage control whilst resigning myself to the bleak prospect of a late arrival.

The wonder of weird towns
I was out walking the other evening, on my own, with my walking stick that I occasionally use. I had an urgent chore to carry out, involving a pharmacy stop. And then I spontaneously, decided afterwards, to extend that walk to have a little girlie browse and also grab a coffee and just people watch.

When Integers Attack. Honorable Mention in Absurdist Awakening Challenge. Top Story - March 2025.
The dreaded SAT starts promptly at 8:30 am in the morning. Too damn early if you ask me. Getting a good score is the only way of getting a scholarship into a decent college (unless you get a B-list actress to pay someone to take the test for you). Ninety of us are packed in like herrings, nine neat rows, entering demographic information in case universities want to contact us directly. Lots of codes and crap to enter: student ID, school, room number, blood type, next of kin, my car’s VIN.
