Male Issues

[pagandialysis]

Warning: The following subject matter is adult oriented!





I have a problem. When I sit down in the dialysis chair I tend to sit on my testicles. Today I had them put up the privacy curtain so I could adjust myself. I don't want them to put it up every time so I can spend three seconds adjusting myself so I am not in pain. Does anyone have a solution that does not make me look like a perv playing with myself?

 

[mcclane]

This sort of helps, but I wear boxers, so at least that gives my boys abit of play area with minimal adjustment. 

Or, I pretend I'm digging around in my pockets for something when I am actually making adjustments.

[Restorer]

Screw it. I make adjustments openly when it looks like no one's watching.

I can typically move the 'nads around before I'm all the way down in the chair. Though every once in a while I need to do a final adjustment once I'm all the way seated. Just try to be discreet about it. As long as it doesn't take you 10 minutes, they shouldn't thing you're doing anything untoward

Sorry pagandialysis, you made me laugh.. I never thought about you boys sitting on them "things" Woo must be a nightmare.Lol

[Cordelia]

I opened this thread up just in sheer curiousity---I assumed erectile problems....being that can be pretty commonw with men on D...uuh....never imagining testicle issues Lol

[Desert Dancer]

I agree with billybags - I can't IMAGINE having to walk around with those things between my legs all the time. It would drive me NUTS. (Pun not intended... no, really!)

                        Now I will think of all the men in our unit now--I won't be able to look at them anymore with a straight face   

[jbeany]

Can I suggest a lap blanket?   

[boswife]

lol......so my hubbys not the only one..

Apparently, science has uncovered the consequences (they call them sequelae to confuse us) of this phenomena.  This was sent to me via email today and I feel that it is my duty to share it with the posters here.  I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting a link.   If so, I'm sorry. But it is my higher duty.

i was being nosey, and while i dont have testicals, i do wear a bra, and sometimes have to fix myself in that manner, which probably isnt AS embarrassing.... and also when i used to wear a certain type of undie, id get massive wedgies, also very uncomfortable and embarrassing, the wiggle works ok, sometimes, but under blanket adjustments are the way to go, and honestly i figure, just do it, because really who cares if ur playing with urself or not, if someone says something u could always just say, "sorry, u mean dialysis doesnt make YOU feel sexy??"

I agree with billybags - I can't IMAGINE having to walk around with those things between my legs all the time. It would drive me NUTS. (Pun not intended... no, really!)

Don't you ladies have to walk around with those bags hanging off your chest and bouncing around?    And if you sleep on your stomach, you're also sleeping on those bags?

[Iwannabean]

I try to wear shorts and I put a blanket over me, because the boys need adjusting almost every visit .
As long as your not (ahem) adjusting for 10 minutes at a time, I dont see it as a problem .  Hey life is life, dont you see athletes "adjusting" all the time.  Can you hear the announcer at a baseball game "Sorry folks we are going to a commercial break while the team Adjusts" I just grab the boys, place em where its comfortable, and be done with it.  If anybody thinks I'm playing with Blinky, the one eyed wonder worm, well let them think it.    There I said it. Now im feeling kind of nutty.  Maybe even a little prickly   So those of you with dirty minds  adjust this.  Happy Friday ya bunch of Hemos.

Umm ok. This is interesting.

First of all you gals... naughty you for wanting to look at our private boys business. Be careful for what you are curious about - you may get to see more than you imagine!!! LOL

I can't honestly remember this being a big problem for me on D - but I also tended to wear boxers on D for the comfort value. I found it more difficult sitting in the one spot for too long so I often shifted on the chair on a periodic basis which did a bit of "auto adjustment" I guess lol.  The blanket is a good idea - I used to use one on D so yeah one could adjust things without too much embarassment.

My other comment is that most people find it cold when they are on D - and well I would think that would have a helpful effect on the "boys" !!!!! 

[Cordelia]

         Rightside and Richard.....yeah, Rightside,  yup, we're always adjusting those bags! LOL      Richard, naughty's my middle name LMAO!   

I actually stuff my central line (covered in the guaze and  sock) in my left bag cuz then it's floppin' around too! LMAO!       

I just was reminded of something reading Richard's post.......I once knew a guy who had some testicle problems after he'd had the snippity snip procedure done and it was always the weather that caused the discomfort, when it turned cold. 

[mcclane]

that's why i like doing hemo at home, i can adjust all i want, it is only my wife that witnesses it 

[Iwannabean]

I figured out that if you title anything with "Male Problems" or "For Men Only" you will get twice as many women to read it. Go figure

Thanks for all of the responses. I think I will start bringing a lite weight blanket with me.

Happy that I could make you all smile. 

[boswife]

funny too, we keep commen back to read more..hehe    and eweeeeeee,, did you check the site that Malaka posted..  freekie! 

[Riki]

When I'm in dialysis, I go for comfort.  I tend to wear pjs, nice baggy ones, which help in the wedgie department, and I leave the bra off.  When I had a central line, I didn't wear one at all.  It hurt too much.

The people that dress up for dialysis really baffle me.  It's not like anyone is going to care what you look like.  Some people wear good clothes to dialysis.  I'd be afraid of getting blood on them.

and guys, the cold in dialysis affects the niblets as much as the nads, but it can be a little more noticeable for us gals

[bleija]

i used to joke around with my hubby that my PD cath was my little penis, bc whn i would sit down, it would poke out and look like a little boner, so when i got my permacath in my chest i joke that its my third nipple, but now i just slide it in my bra with my right boob...lol i just have fun with all my sexyness lol

and i opened this feed thinking it would be erectile dysfunction or something, but curiosity wouldnt let me leave it alone.... and another thing, u said male prob not for males only lol not that that would have stopped me

[Cordelia]

Over your right boob? My cath is over my left boob (side where my heart is) LOL      I thought all caths were over the boob on the side where the heart is, since the tip of the cath is actually in the heart.  Or do I have my left and right mixed up?
