Patient's question:

It has been 80 days since I had varicocele surgery. Recently, my legs and feet have felt sore and aching every morning after getting into bed to sleep, but there is no swelling. Sometimes it is accompanied by lower back pain. How to treat soreness and aching after varicocele surgery?

Doctor's answer:

You can have a thorough check of the urine routine. If the urine routine test is normal, further examination of the lumbar magnetic resonance imaging should be conducted to check for any issues. If there are no problems, it may be possible that the pain is referred pain caused by surgery. Symptomatic treatment can then be administered. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
