Varicocele can lead to male infertility. Among men with varicocele, approximately two-thirds may experience recurrent abnormal semen, with a significant portion of these cases potentially causing infertility. Therefore, in daily life, men should:1. Avoid standing for long periods, especially when carrying heavy loads.
2. When lying down or adopting a head-low, feet-high position, the dilated veins can disappear on their own, and symptoms can be relieved after resting in bed. Otherwise, it may be secondary, and the underlying cause should be identified.
3. Change underwear frequently to prevent skin irritation, redness, swelling, and eczema caused by damp underwear.
