Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling some discomfort in my testicles, a sensation of heaviness or dragging, but it's not very painful. The hospital examination revealed varicocele, and I'd like to consult whether sleeping naked might alleviate the heaviness or if wearing underwear and providing some support for the testicles would be better. Will sleeping naked worsen varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Naked sleeping will never cause varicocele. If you sit for a long time and wear tight pants regularly, it may lead to varicocele again due to prolonged pressure on the testicles. If the varicocele is mild, you can use warm water sit baths more frequently and combine them with massage to stabilize it. If it is severe, surgery is required for treatment.
