What underwear should I wear with varicocele?

Choosing the right underwear for varicoceles is key to relieving symptoms and improving comfort. Good support and a garment that helps regulate temperature are some of the requirements for varicocele underwear.

What is varicocele?

Varicocele is a condition that involves the appearance of varicose veins in the scrotum, the sac of skin that houses the testicles. The veins responsible for draining blood to the testicles dilate , causing an increase in body temperature in this area and an increase in testicular volume. Varicocele affects approximately 15% of the male population and usually appears between the ages of 15 and 25. There are three grades of varicocele. The mildest is asymptomatic and may even go unnoticed. In the moderate grade, discomfort occurs, usually a feeling of testicular heaviness , especially when standing. Intermittent pain may also be noticed, which is more intense after exercising or on hot days. Finally, the most severe grade involves poor testicular development and low sperm production , which may require surgery to prevent infertility. No specific cause has been determined to explain the appearance of this condition. However, the relationship between the choice of underwear and varicocele is clear, at least in terms of symptom relief. Rather than talking about special underwear for men with varicocele, the important thing is to ensure that it meets certain requirements.

What underwear should I wear if I have varicocele?

At Abanderado, we design collections compatible with expert advice regarding varicoceles and underwear. The result is underwear that facilitates temperature regulation and provides support, promoting blood circulation. We give you more details on what underwear should be like for varicocele patients and the characteristics they must meet to preserve intimate health.

Natural fibers

We've already mentioned that one of the consequences of varicoceles is increased temperature in the testicular area. To combat this sensation, there's nothing better than using natural fibers to make underwear for varicocele sufferers. At Abanderado, we choose bamboo and organic cotton for the breathability and regulating effect of these two fabrics. Specifically, Abanderado's Sensitive collection is a perfect choice for men with varicoceles. In addition to ensuring a feeling of freshness and softness, they are hypoallergenic. Furthermore, their seamless, tagless design provides maximum comfort with optimal support. Calzoncillos con varicocele

Stretch fabrics

A varicocele prevents proper blood flow through the veins of the testicles. Therefore, one of the key factors when purchasing underwear for varicocele sufferers is to ensure that the fabric is sufficiently elastic so that it doesn't compress and further impede blood flow. Don't forget that the testicles must be supported. Combining both needs is a reality when you choose stretch cotton underwear . A natural fabric and design that provide the freedom of movement and comfort you need, without sacrificing support. Those who have tried them confirm that it's like wearing a second skin , thanks to their ability to adapt to a man's body.

Good support

One of the most significant discomforts caused by varicocele is the feeling of testicular heaviness. Therefore, it's essential to choose underwear that provides maximum support to counteract gravity and alleviate this discomfort. Furthermore, supporting the underwear not only reduces pain but also decreases the likelihood of testicular swelling . We always say that choosing between boxer briefs or briefs is usually a matter of personal preference. However, in this case, it's preferable to opt for varicocele briefs . They're the style most similar to jockstraps, but more comfortable and stylish. In any case, they should be closed briefs, without side openings, for effective support. Varicocele is a male condition that can be greatly exacerbated or mitigated by choosing underwear made with natural fibers to promote breathability and temperature regulation. They must also ensure flexibility and support. At Abanderado, we offer a variety of varicocele briefs , especially our Sensitive collection and our essential stretch cotton briefs. All of this, without losing sight of the design and elegance that characterizes our brand, so you feel as attractive as you are confident.
