Speaking of "egg pain", many people are not unfamiliar. "The pressure is great! I feel terrible!" "The year has passed, and last year's year-end bonus was not issued, which really hurts!" It seems like people are very happy to be used to vomit. However, experts say that for people who need to stand and sit for a long time at work, the occurrence of "egg pain" should not be too "egg stable", because "egg pain" or a manifestation of varicocele!
"Egg pain" or varicocele
Varicocele refers to the coiled expansion of the veins in the spermatic cord due to obstruction of their return flow. Varicocele is a common disease in young adults. Varicocele refers to the dilation, tortuosity, and lengthening of blood vessels in the racemose plexus (venous plexus) of the spermatic cord caused by blood stasis in the spermatic veins. The incidence rate of varicocele is 10-15% in male population, and varicocele accounts for 15-20% in male infertility.
"Varicocele is like a small bag of worms entering the scrotum, and it doesn't feel obvious at first. However, when standing, you can see or touch the varicocele's venous plexus at the spermatic cord, vigorously bulge your stomach, add abdominal pressure, and you can also see more severe varicoceles. Lying flat can alleviate the symptoms of varicocele.". Severe patients with varicocele can experience scrotal ptosis, testicular mass, and testicular pain. Symptoms of varicocele can worsen after tiredness, prolonged walking, vigorous exercise, and sexual activity.
Pay attention to whether you have varicocele after standing and sitting for a long time
Regular activity can prevent varicocele
Clinically, men who take standing as their profession are particularly prone to developing varicocele, mainly among professional groups such as teachers, hairdressers, waiters, and entertainers. Standing for a long time can easily lead to obstruction of the spermatic veins in the scrotum, causing abnormal swelling. Of course, it can also lead to poor blood flow through the testicular veins, blood stasis, and increased pressure in the spermatic veins, leading to varicocele.
And for white-collar workers who have been sitting in the office for a long time, they should be more vigilant against suffering from varicocele. Sitting for a long time, long-term pressure on the hips, and prolonged compression of the scrotum can lead to thickening of the blood vessels in the testicular region, and severe blood stasis can lead to varicocele.

You can also see more severe varicoceles, which can be alleviated by lying flat.".
Varicocele can be divided into three grades: mild, moderate, and severe. "After standing and holding your breath, you cannot see varicose veins, but those who can feel the venous mass are the mildest varicocele, and these varicose veins will quickly disappear when lying flat;"; Moderate varicocele is defined as a condition in which the venous mass can be seen and felt, and the mass can gradually disappear after lying flat; "While visible venous masses can be seen with the naked eye, and there are also obvious earthworm-like veins to the touch. Severe varicocele can disappear slowly even when lying flat, and this condition is severe.".
