Can one do physical exercises with Varicocele? – Dr. Ravish I R

Patients with varicocele will develop a little bit of pain after walking for a longer period or after jogging. It is because of the veins getting dilated after having exerting some pressure. In these patients we are advised to wear tight undergarments suppose it does not cause the laxity and the pain does not come. If you put the undergarments tightly and the testes slightly upwards on the abdomen the drainage will be better and the pain will always reduce. These patients can still do the exercise but we will not recommend very strenuous exercise because it develops pain. If you see most of these patients they develop pain during the evening times because as fatigueness sets in there is some amount of compression which leads to pain.
