Varicocele is a condition in which dilated, or widened, veins in the male ball sack cause the veins to fill up with blood, resulting in a painful and unpleasant problem which can result in serious health problems. Varicocele occurs in up to 25% of males between the ages of 13 and 30. Although a definitive cause is not yet known, dietary factors, genetics and lifestyle are considered to play a large part in this condition. If you think you may have a varicocele, consult your healthcare professional without delay. Symptoms It doesn't take long, in many cases, for men to notice that they have developed a varicocele. The symptoms include: • visibly enlarged veins in the private parts • lumps • local swelling • dragging, aching pain • shrinking of the private parts • infertility It is uncommon for a varicocele to go unnoticed, but if fertility is an issue it may be worthwhile checking with a medical practitioner than varicocele is not present. Varicocele is the most common cause of male infertility and affecting male output in terms of size, motility, and overall count. Regular use of a topical unguent such as a good quality male organ health crème can help soothe and cool this painful condition. Causes A varicocele is, quite simply, a varicose vein that occurs in the male private parts. Veins are part of the cardiovascular system but function in a different way to blood vessels. While blood vessels carry oxygenated blood to the tissues, veins contain one-way valves that draw de-oxygenated blood away from tissues and back to the heart. If veins become damaged, blood is unable to travel quickly, causing the vein to expand. While varicose veins usually occur late in life, the varicocele condition is most common in adolescent men. Over 70% of males with varicocele have defects of the one-way valves in their veins. Anything that reduces circulation to the private extremities may help to contribute to poor drainage, such as tight clothing, obesity, high blood fats, swollen lymph nodes, or physical injury. Malignant tumors causing a reduction in blood flow may also be a factor. Treatments Surgery is the primary treatment for varicocele. Having the varicocele removed is simple, fast, and efficient. However, studies show that many men who undergo surgery for varicocele experience recurrences and if surgery is required multiple times, damage to the local tissues can be permanent. Researchers from the O.U. of Metabolic Diseases and Endocrinology, Italy studied the benefits of surgery in infertile men with varicocele. While men with infertility for more than a period of 12-months did not experience much improvement from surgery, men with infertility for more than 24-months saw a higher percentage of improvement. Nowadays the varicocele condition is treated by microsurgery has higher success rates than previous surgical techniques. Supporting venous sufficiency throughout the body with nutrition, lifestyle and herbal medicine may also help. In one study horse-chestnut extract was found to be as effective as diuretic therapy and compression stockings in treating varicose veins. Gotu kola, bilberry and butcher's broom are other herbs known to improve microcirculation, reduce vein inflammation, and support venous sufficiency. Vitamin C, E and Omega-3 may also act as circulatory supporters and natural blood thinners. Male health crèmes Male health crèmes are natural products that can be applied to the male organ area. Containing vitamins and amino acids that are beneficial for organ tissues and reproductive health, male organ health crèmes are an excellent way of supporting symptoms of varicocele as well as reducing the risk. Specialist formulas (most professionals recommend Man1Man Oil) contain vitamin C for strengthening vein walls, vitamin E for blood thinning and preventing scarring, and alpha lipoic acid to protect nerve function before and after surgery. Apply often to tone veins and promote circulation, making important nutrients available directly to the local tissues. Avoid use two days prior to varicocele surgery to reduce the risk of increased bleeding and resume use after surgery to support tissue healing.
