Patient's question:
One month after bilateral varicocele surgery, on the 15th day of changing the dressing, I felt sensitive and uncomfortable in the epididymal area and couldn't touch it. It also seemed to be the site of the spermatic cord incision. After re-examination, it was fine and didn't hurt much. Today, just after finishing work, the left side has started to hurt again. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of varicose vein surgery will gradually subside. Generally, about 7 days post-surgery, the stitches are removed, and it takes about a month to recover completely. Sexual activity should be strictly prohibited for one month after the surgery. It is recommended to avoid standing for long periods, not to smoke, and not to drink beer. A light diet is advisable, with a reduction in spicy and irritating foods. Paying attention to a balanced diet can effectively prevent recurrence. Timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence, but if not treated promptly, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and pay more attention to self-care in daily life to avoid spicy foods.
