Patient's question:
I have varicocele. I want to know if I need to stay in the hospital after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Before undergoing varicocele surgery, it is generally only necessary to check blood pressure carefully. Other thorough examinations are not required because this is a minor procedure. For such surgeries, it is usually sufficient to be closely monitored in the hospital for about five days. Some hospitals may allow patients to be discharged after the surgery, and the resulting scars are typically not noticeable. These procedures are usually minimally invasive, and they will absolutely not affect a military health examination. It is recommended to seek a formal specialized hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment for optimal results. Varicocele conditions can easily recur, requiring long-term medication for maintenance.
