Patient's question:
Hydrocele has been present for over two months, and I just had surgery to remove it a week ago. In the past few days, I've noticed some swelling in the testicle and epididymis. How should I take care of myself after hydrocele removal surgery?Doctor's answer:
The testicles and epididymis are slightly swollen. This is a normal phenomenon after surgery. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken to suppress inflammation, and the epididymis can recover. However, the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. If treatment is not timely, it may affect the patient's condition, so timely medication treatment is necessary. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
