Does Masturbating Effect Varicocele?

Is masturbation (fapping) bad for varicocele? Well, the act of sexually pleasuring yourself is typically not bad for varicocele, but the act of watching pornography can be.

Masturbating to the point of organism while in a sitting position (e.g. when watching erotic videos) is a risk factor that increases the swelling of the scrotal veins and worsens varicocele symptoms.

While masturbation can be beneficial because of its stress reducing effects, excessive masturbation due to over-arousal by erotic pictures and videos causes increased blood flow to the testicular veins, again worsening varicocele.

So, there is a wrong way of masturbating, but there is also a healthy way.

The healthy way is done once every several days, in a laying position, without pants and underwear. Ideally, if you have varicocele you should also perform a cooling treatment after to normalize the temperature of your testicles.
