Here is the English translation of the provided text, with line breaks preserved as instructed:Daily Life Precautions for Varicocele Patients:
Avoid standing for long periods. Prolonged standing increases abdominal pressure, which can easily lead to varicocele. Therefore, patients should regularly perform leg lifting and lowering exercises. If possible, it is best to take a short walk.
Maintain a calm mood and ensure adequate rest. Varicocele patients should avoid sudden anger, which can harm the liver. Heavy physical labor and intense exercise are also not advisable.
Pay attention to diet and ensure proper nutrition. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and it is best to completely avoid alcohol and tobacco. Foods rich in vitamin E, such as corn oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, lettuce leaves, and orange peels, can definitely help in preventing and recovering from varicocele.
Maintain cleanliness to prevent infection. Pay attention to hygiene in the perineal area to avoid retrograde infection. Promptly treat urinary and genital infections to reduce the risk of inflammation and prevent worsening of varicocele.
