Patient's question:
Left varicocelectomy with high ligation, performed by pressing on the left lower abdomen. I don't understand the principle of the surgery, please guide me. Additionally, the discharge record states "intraoperative findings revealed 2 varicose veins in the left spermatic cord, twisted and swollen, approximately 0.5 cm in size." Hello, in medical terms, is this 0.5 cm considered large or small in terms of varicocele severity? Also, how should a scrotal support be used after varicocelectomy to elevate the scrotum?Doctor's answer:
In the surgical ward, the spermatic vein is cut off to induce abortion, preventing blood from flowing out of the dilated veins. The length and severity of the dilatation are not much related. After the surgery, elevating the scrotum can promote blood flow. Additionally, for patients with urological conditions, their dietary status and care during treatment are also very important. Patients should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
