Due to job requirements, people working in service industries such as teachers and hairdressers may spend their entire day standing up. Some people may say that standing tired is a bit tiring, but it is better for one's health than sitting for a long time. Is it really like this?
Many people know that prolonged sitting is not conducive to male reproductive health and may harm sperm. In fact, standing for a long time is also not conducive to male health. Especially for men working in the teaching and service industries, they need to pay more attention.
Experts said that, like sitting for a long time, standing for a long time is likely to cause poor return of testicular venous blood blood, which may stay in the blood vessels, causing obstruction of spermatic vein in the scrotum, and may also cause abnormal swelling, which may lead to varicocele. Some people may experience pain in the testicles, inner thighs, groin, and lower back as a result, and in severe cases, protruding blood vessels can be seen from the appearance. This may also affect male fertility, as blood retention in the spermatic vein can increase the local temperature of the testicles and prevent timely removal of metabolic waste, resulting in insufficient nutrition for the testicles; At the same time, the blood of the left internal spermatic vein countercurrent, bringing the metabolites secreted by the adrenal gland and kidney to the testis, inhibiting sperm production, affecting the quality and quantity of sperm. In the long run, it may even affect testicular function, leading to phenomena such as testicular softening and reduced volume.
Experts remind men who need to work standing for a long time to walk or sit down every hour to rest. If you suspect you have varicocele, you can observe yourself first. Those who cannot see varicose veins after standing and holding their breath, but can touch venous masses are mild; Moderate cases where the venous mass can be seen and touched, and the mass can gradually disappear after lying flat; It can be seen with the naked eye and obvious earthworm like veins can be felt, and even when lying flat, they slowly disappear to become severe. Generally speaking, asymptomatic or asymptomatic individuals can only use scrotal braces or wear tight underwear to elevate the scrotum. If you have severe pain symptoms, be sure to seek medical attention in a timely manner.
