Patient's question:
The patient has varicocele, and three holes were made on the lower abdomen using laparoscopy. What is the full name of this surgery? Is the incidence rate high? It has been exactly 10 days since the surgery today, and the stitches have been removed. What should be paid attention to? For example, regarding overeating, exercise, and other aspects. Can the patient stand or sit for long periods?Doctor's answer:
This is a minimally invasive surgery for varicocele, specifically a high ligation of the varicocele under the laparoscope. The success rate is very high. After properly ligating and removing the dilated veins, it is generally unlikely to recur. However, in the future, it is advisable to avoid prolonged squatting and sitting. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and there is a higher risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
