Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been recovering from a varicocele surgery on the left testicle for five years. I am experiencing testicular swelling and aching pain, sometimes accompanied by a burning sensation. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
In your case, there are two possibilities: one is that the internal damage in the scrotum has not been fully healed, which may cause a dull pain or aching sensation; the other is that the pathological spermatic vein needs to establish a new local venous blood circulation pathway after surgery, which may also lead to itching, numbness, or aching in the scrotal area. The duration of recovery depends on each person's physical condition and the extent of surgical trauma. It is normal to experience these symptoms during the recovery period, so there is no need to worry too much, but it is necessary to visit the hospital for a follow-up check.
