Is physical exercise safe with a varicocele?

#1 · 26 October 2024, 6:50 PM

Exercise is generally safe for individuals with varicoceles, although some modifications may help minimize discomfort. High-impact exercises, heavy lifting, and activities that strain the abdominal region can increase pressure in the veins, possibly worsening symptoms.

Low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, or cycling are usually better tolerated. Wearing supportive underwear can help alleviate discomfort during exercise. If pain or discomfort increases during physical activity, it may be necessary to adjust exercise routines and consult a healthcare provider.
