The term Nutcracker Syndrome refers to how the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery compress the spermatic vein between them. This compression restricts blood flow and increases fluid pressure in the spermatic vein, and is a major cause of varicocele.

The Nutcracker Syndrome explains why those who experience bowel or postural problems are more likely to have varicocele and typically experience more severe symptoms—because many bowel and postural disorders increase intra-abdominal pressure, and physically push the aorta and superior mesenteric artery closer together (exacerbating the nutcracker effect).

There are 4 key points for treating the Nutcracker Syndrome:

1. Improve Bowel & Digestive Health
2. Improve Cervical & Thoracic Alignment (Head & Upper Back Posture)
3. Attaining a healthy weight is also important
4. Minimizing Excessive Abdominal Pressure

Bloating, constipation, irregular bowel movement, and other digestive and bowel disease are all risk factors for varicocele. 
​
Here is what to consider when it comes to bowel & digestive health:

• Adjust your diet to attain regular, soft, and well-formed stools
• Regular intake of fermented food (source of probiotics)
• Stress management
• Minimize toxin exposure (e.g. BPA, pesticides, food processing agents, food coloring, etc.)

Perform the Thoracic Extension and Chin Tuck exercises as outlined in this article: www.varicocelehealing.com/posture.

Excessive abdominal pressure is a big risk factor for varicocele because it exacerbates the Nutcracker Effect. Excessive pressure is derived from various lifestyle risk factors, including poor sitting posture, spine alignment, specific muscular tightness, bowel health, exercise risk factors, tight belts and pant waists, etc. Many risk factors contribute, and they need to be corrected in order for the blood to circulate more smoothly through your testicular veins. 

In most of the studies reviewed, researchers found that antioxidant elements can have beneficial effects:

• CoQ10 and α-tocopherol are capable of improving sperm count
• Carnitine was beneficial for sperm motility and morphology
• Vitamins E and C reduced sperm DNA damage. 

​
The review concluded that the proper combination of these antioxidants can significantly improve semen parameters helping infertile men. 

Apart from the elements stated above, there are other elements that can be included in diet through food or supplementation, which are very beneficial for semen parameters:

• Folic acid: a derivative of vitamin B9, essential for the synthesis of purines and thymidine. It promotes proper spermatogenesis and prevents oxidative damage to lipids and proteins. Low levels of folic acid have been found in infertile men. The sources include green and leafy vegetables, beans, avocados, and citrus fruits.
• Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum): with its active ingredient, aescin, is able to help treating varicocele due to its vasculoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
• Cod liver oil: an element high in Omega-3 fatty acids that helps to produce the sperm membrane, regulating proper sperm maturation.
• Lycopene: forms part of the carotenoid family, playing a role in immune reactions, regulating gene expression, and increasing sperm motility, morphology, and quality. It can be found in fruits like tomatoes, grapefruits, and watermelons, and vegetables.
• Hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis): its leaves and flowers have been used in traditional medicine to help improve peripheral vein function, becoming a strong candidate for varicocele treatment.
• Tribulus terrestris: it has been used in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine for several years due to its multiple benefits in the sexual health area. It is believed that one of its components, protodioscin, increases testosterone levels, sperm count and motility.
• Sheng Jing Zhongzi Tang: an herb associated with the increase of spermatic density, motility, normal morphology, and pregnancy rates. It has also been related to low levels of antisperm antibodies in the semen.
• Withania somnifera: is capable of increasing blood levels of antioxidants, testosterone, LH, FSH, and prolactin in infertile men.

It is important for you to consider the elements stated above and know that there are other elements that could help you or your loved ones to improve the varicocele-associated problems and increase the chances of successful pregnancy by reducing oxidative stress and damage, regulating blood flow to the genitals, improving spermatic veins conditions, and diminishing inflammation levels.

The Complete Guide to Natural Healing of Varicocele is the most comprehensive varicocele natural treatment program. Really, I wrote this guide for you guys so that it is a one-stop resource for natural treatment--so that you can get started and have an easy step-by-step guide to heal your varicocele at home. And really, my guide contains The Best & Most Up To Date natural treatments for varicocele. Moreover, every new edition is completely re-written based on my experience in helping thousands of new & old clients. The 5th edition is going to leaps and bounds better than the 4th--just as the 4th was leaps and bounds better than the 3rd. I don't do 1 section updates. The book is completely re-written, because I keep finding more and more effective treatment options & phase out treatments that are less effective (yes, you get access to all future editions free of charge!)

So, why buy the Healing Guide? Because it's the best natural treatment option for varicocele. And now, when combined with the Varico Health Kit & STUD Varicocele Therapeutic Underwear, this is very likely The Best Overall Treatment Option for Varicocele.

I wrote the Healing Guide because I too suffered from varicocele and all of the misinformation that's out there. You can read my story here: www.varicocelehealing.com/my-story.

Now, long story made short: I too suffered from varicocele and all of the misinformation that's out there. So, I took it upon myself to come up with a solution.

It took a little while, but I came across Robert Meloney's Varicocele Treatment Without Surgery Natural Healing Guide (his website was recently closed). This was over 5 years ago, and I had a massive golf ball sized left-sided varicocele, constant aching and pain, and my left testicle was soft, shrunken, and squishy. I was obviously worried. However, I was lucky, because both my doctor and urologist told me that surgery is too high risk. However, they gave me no alternatives to surgery. They said, "There is nothing that you can do."

Luckily for me, they put me in a really bad place, and so the Varicocele Treatment Without Surgery Natural Healing Guide sounded amazing to me--plus, he only charged $39 for his book--which was a tiny risk for me.

So, I bought Rob's book--which was pretty much a scam. But, I didn't give up and found a few things in there that had potential. So, I went on, searched and searched, and tested treatment after treatment, and to my surprise, I got some pain relief, and noticed that my varicocele swelling was a lot smaller at times!

These early results really sparked me & drove me to write the first edition of the Healing Guide. Looking back on it now, the first edition was pretty terrible, and I'm pretty sure that most people who bought the book in those early days were really just supporting the cause, and were being too nice to me with their complements.

But, it's been over 5 years now, and now we're on the 4th edition (almost 5th). We've come a long way, and the treatments and recommendations have completely evolved! What's cool is that, now I'm getting emails almost every single day (typically multiple emails daily) of clients thanking me for helping them cure their pain, treat their infertility, cure their varicocele (happens sometimes!)really for taking the time to do all this. They're also super thankful to be because I really take the time to answer all of their concerns and really give them the exact help that they need!

So, I hope that you enjoyed my story, and that it resonated with you. If I've intrigued your attention enough, now, I'm sure you're wondering how to buy The Complete Guide to Natural Healing of Varicocele.
