What should I do if I have a recurrence of varicocele after surgery?

Patient's question:

A 42-year-old man has recently been experiencing poor mental health and has only recently discovered that he is ill. Here are the questions: What should he do if he has varicocele surgery and it recurs?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocelectomy is indeed a surgery with a relatively high recurrence rate. If this condition reappears, it is best to go back to the hospital where the surgery was performed and consult the surgeon for a thorough examination to determine if it is a hernia or other causes. Since the surgeon will have a better understanding of your condition, if the diagnosis indicates a recurrence, you should decide whether to pursue conservative treatment or undergo another surgery based on your personal circumstances. Wishing you good health.
Additionally, patients need to maintain a regular routine, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods daily, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water to prevent the condition from recurring.
