Patient's question:
I have varicocele for over a month and feel a bit uncomfortable. My left testicle is a bit severe, while the right one is fine. It has improved after the surgery, but sometimes it still curves. Also, the right testicle is slightly larger and a bit harder than the left one. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned, if it occurs again, is likely related to the formation of scar tissue at the surgical site. It is important not to over-tense, as this phenomenon is normal. Daily sitz baths with potassium permanganate solution, cold compresses, and adequate rest will help alleviate the symptoms. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to actively seek professional and reputable medical treatment. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
