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

Patient's question:

A 48-year-old man's mental state has recently not been good, and he only found out he was sick afterward. Here are the questions: What should he do if he has had surgery for varicocele 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 return 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 underlying 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 should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods in their daily diet, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water to prevent the condition from recurring.
