Similar to sitting for a long time, standing for a long time can easily lead to poor venous blood return in the testicles and stay in the blood vessels, causing obstruction of the spermatic vein in the scrotum. It may also produce abnormal swelling and lead to varicocele. Some people will experience soreness in the testicles, inner thighs, groin and waist due to this. In severe cases, protruding blood vessels can be seen from the appearance. This may also affect male fertility, because the retention of blood in the spermatic vein will increase the local temperature of the testicles and prevent metabolic waste from being taken away in time, resulting in the testicles not receiving adequate nutrition; at the same time, the blood in the left spermatic vein will flow backward. , bringing metabolites secreted by the adrenal glands and kidneys to the testicles, inhibiting sperm production and affecting sperm quality and quantity. If this happens for a long time, it will even affect testicular function, leading to testicular softening and smaller size.

Therefore, men who need to stand for long periods of time should walk around or sit down to take a break every hour. If you suspect that you have varicocele, you can observe yourself first. If you cannot see varicose veins after standing and holding your breath, but you can feel the varicose veins, it is considered mild; if you can see and feel the veins, and the mass can gradually disappear after lying down, it is considered moderate; it can be seen with the naked eye. , and obvious vermiform veins can be felt, which disappear very slowly even when lying down, which is considered severe. Generally speaking, those with no symptoms or mild symptoms can only use a scrotum support belt or wear tight underwear to raise the scrotum. If you have severe pain symptoms, you must seek medical treatment promptly.
