How to treat varicocele at home?

If you are a man experiencing discomfort or pain in your testicles, it could be due to varicoceles. Not familiar with this condition? Don’t worry; you’re not alone! Varicoceles are enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, the sac that holds your testicles. The condition is quite common and affects around 15% of men worldwide.

While medical treatment is available for varicoceles, some people prefer to try out home remedies first before turning to professional services. This article aims to provide effective ways on how to treat varicocele at home without causing any further harm.

Change Your Underwear

The simplest remedy for treating mild cases of varicocele involves wearing specific undergarments such as compression shorts. Alternatively, regular briefs may also help since they lift up and support the scrotum, which can relieve pain caused by venous reflux.

Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle

Your lifestyle choices can have an impact on your overall health and well-being. Here are some practical tips:

  • Keep Hydrated – Make sure you drink lots of water daily.
  • Exercise Regularly – Exercise not only improves blood circulation but helps reduce weight (if overweight) which takes away additional pressure from already weakened veins.
  • Quit Smoking – Smoking hampers proper circulation throughout our body including those veins involved in taking impure blood back into our kidneys again resulting in worsening swollen veins.

Apply Heat Therapy

This method has been tried and tested by many patients suffering from large varicose veins successfully. What’s more surprising: You do not need any fancy equipment to pull off this trick.

Simply use hot water bottles/bags or soak a towel in hot water(use temperature safe limits) & apply it over the affected area by wrapping either around waist if its larger vessel dilatation or directly placing onto swollen veins for smaller dilatations, three times a day. You can also take warm baths or use heat wraps to improve blood flow and relieve pain.

Onion Remedy

Onions have various medicinal properties such as anti-bacterial agents, diuretics, and anti-inflammatories that might treat varicoceles at home. Here is the recipe:

  1. Cut 2-3 medium-sized onions into small pieces.
  2. Boil them in water for around 10 minutes until they become tender.
  3. Strain the liquid using a sieve.
  4. Drink this mixture up to twice per day after meals for about two weeks.

Yoga Poses

Yoga not only helps reduce stress but also improves blood circulation throughout our body: This plays an important role in treating varicocele over time(slowly). Here are some poses that you might find helpful:

  • Vajrasana (Thunderbolt pose)
  • Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand pose)
  • Pawanmuktasana (Wind-relieving pose)

Always remember – don’t hold these postures more than what feels comfortable! Take breaks if needed between holding any yoga posture-specifically if you’re new to practicing it.

Massage Therapy

Gentle Massaging of swollen veins has proven itself effective in improving blood flow by softening walls of blocked drainage vessels so impure/inflammed internal swelled fluids can return easily out from affected area instead of hoarding inside & worsening painful sensations with time!

Use gentle rubbing strokes (clockwise direction) while applying mild pressure before bed-time preferably(as lying down due to gravity helps venous reflux), grab some coconut oil(or any other oil) and start kneading gently around swollen areas avoiding pressing too hard on delicate organs like testicles themselves else next thing you’ll require would be medical help!.

Fenugreek Seed Tea

Fenugreek seeds have been around forever for their various health benefits including improving blood circulation throughout our body especially treating venous insufficiency syndromes like varicocele to quicker heal in natural ways. Here’s how you make Fenugreek tea:

  1. Boil 400ml water & add two table-spoons of dried fenugreek seeds into the boiling water.
  2. Once boiled well; let it simmer until only half amount remains(i.e 200 ml).
  3. Strain through a sieve, then sweeten or flavor each serving as per your liking.
  4. Drink this mixture twice per day after meals for about three weeks.

Essential Oils

Another effective home remedy that can be used to treat varicoceles is essential oils! Some beneficial oils include cypress oil, lavender oil and lemon oil, among others.

These essential oils are directly rubbed onto the affected areas gently applying mild massage movements along with ‘clockwise’ direction so they penetrate deep inside swollen walls easily taken effects early without any side-effects usually associated with drugs/medical options!
