Patient's question:
Sometimes when standing, I feel a sense of swelling in the scrotum, especially painful. At times, I feel a heavy and distended sensation, accompanied by pain. The symptoms become more pronounced after prolonged standing or exertion, and they decrease after rest. The doctor said it is varicocele. What kind of help is needed: What to eat for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the tortuous and dilated veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous return. Young and middle-aged individuals often have a more active sexual function and abundant blood supply to the contents of the scrotum. This type of varicocele may gradually disappear with age. Additionally, prolonged standing and increased abdominal pressure are contributing factors. Conditions such as retroperitoneal tumors, renal tumors, and hydronephrosis that compress the veins within the spermatic cord can lead to symptomatic or secondary varicoceles.Furthermore, soybeans, walnuts, peanuts, animal liver, egg yolks, and butter, as well as corn and yellow/green vegetables, are all rich in vitamin E.
