Patient's question:
I have had varicocele for many years. Actually, it hasn't caused much discomfort, and since I already have children, I haven't paid much attention to it. However, recently the pain has been getting worse, sometimes even keeping me awake at night. It has seriously affected my normal life and work, and I am very troubled. Please ask: How should I take care of myself after varicocele surgery?Doctor's answer:
After surgery, it is necessary to wear triangular underwear for about half a month, which helps support the scrotum. Rest in bed within one week after surgery and avoid straining the abdomen. It is also important to avoid prolonged standing or sitting, and maintain a balance between work and rest in daily life. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, refrain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
