Chastity device discussions and reviews discussion

When my wife and I first got our curve, I had some pain from sleeping in it, and after an ultrasound, it turns out I developed what’s called a varicocele. You know those varicose veins that people get in their legs as they get older? Well, those, but in my scrotum. Now, this is a fairly common thing for men (~15% develop it), and usually you just live with it. It can affect fertility, but the jury is out on whether it’s serious enough to operate on it. And, it’s not clear if it was caused by too tight a base ring on my curve, or just exacerbated by it. But here’s my question for either a doctor, or better yet, a urologist. Can I make it worse by continuing to wear the device now that I’ve found the proper fit? Is it the type of thing where, once it’s done, it’s done, or are there complications to further restricting blood flow in the presence of a varicocele? I asked a urologist online, and not a kink friendly one, so his answer is what any good doctor’s would be: “No research has been done on these devices, so I can’t say anything other than you’re stupid for wearing it, stop it you idiot.” (I’m paraphrasing a little) But we all know on this site how hard it is to give this stuff up, so can any medical experts give me some more kink friendly advice? If you’re just taking an educated guess, that’s alright. Again, there’s no research on any of this. I promise I won’t sue you! Thanks!
