Patient's question:
Two years ago, I had surgery for varicocele. A year ago, a small lump grew from the wound near my navel, which often got scraped. The other day, the lump was hardened, and after it fell off, a thread-like thing about 3 millimeters long appeared inside. I gently pulled it, but there was a sense of attachment. Since then, a small lump has grown around the black thing, causing pain. When pushed, it oozes thick yellow-green liquid. Is this a residual condition after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it's not like that. However, it's still recommended that you go to the hospital for a re-examination and pay attention to anti-inflammatory treatment during this period. Generally speaking, it's related to your daily lifestyle. During this time, it's best to maintain good personal hygiene and take care of your physical exercise. Also, avoid sexual activity. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication is often necessary. For male patients, it's important to go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination.
