Patient's question:
Male, 45 years old. 15 years ago, during the varicocele surgery, a thrombus reappeared in the left thigh root, causing swelling and pain. Now it doesn't hurt, but there is a sense of fullness, itching in the calf, and patchy spots. It has not been treated. Is it treatable now? How to treat it?Doctor's answer:
The condition you mentioned could be chronic eczema, an allergic reaction to contact with something. Depending on the need, topical calamine lotion, oral cetirizine, and compound glycyrrhizin can be used. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid irritating foods, and prevent hot washing and scratching. Varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination.
