A member asked:
Is there a bodybuilder who have varicocele? what if i do weight training, what will be the risk i would experience? and is it harmful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here are some...: Any physical activities which may increase the pressure inside abdominal cavity such as weight-lifting, will sequentially increase the pressure inside varicocele. potentially leading to worsening of varicocele, but such speculated adverse effect is still unclear; so I would proceed with the training and see. If varicocele is considered with male infertility, varicocele correction may be required.
