Patient's question:
I am 44 years old. I feel pain in my lower abdomen, and my testicles also hurt. I also feel very bloated. The symptoms get worse after sitting or standing for a long time. Please ask: Is it normal to have pain after varicocele surgery?Doctor's answer:
The surgical treatment for varicocele is theoretically performed through surgical intervention to induce abortion or ligate the dilated spermatic veins, aiming to stabilize the localized edema caused by blood stasis, thereby alleviating symptoms and stabilizing semen treatment. However, in the short term after surgery, local circulatory disorders and poor blood flow may occur, leading to a lack of noticeable symptom relief in patients. Symptomatic treatments such as elevating the scrotum can be provided. Once the local blood flow stabilizes through the establishment of collateral circulation, your symptoms should improve. Additionally, patients with varicocele who also have prostatitis can receive standardized treatment for prostatitis to help alleviate their symptoms.
