Patient's question:
Doctor, I have had testicular pain for a while. I went for a check-up and was told I have varicocele. How should I take care of myself after varicocele surgery?Doctor's answer:
Generally, recovery after surgery can be gradual and complete. It is usually recommended to rest for three months after surgery. During these three months, it is best to avoid excessive activity and hard work, and to prevent prolonged standing. After more than three months, regular follow-up ultrasound examinations should be conducted to carefully observe the degree of recovery. If it has fully improved, there will be no problem. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
