Patient's question:
The left varicocelectomy surgery has been completed for 15 days, but I feel that the left testicle is more swollen than before the surgery, and it is still slightly curved on the left side as it was before. Is this normal? Please help me clarify this, Doctor. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello. Post-inguinal varicocele surgery, testicular swelling is one of the possible complications, which may lead to recurrent hydrocele or epididymitis. Epididymitis can cause pain, while hydrocele does not. Without pain, it generally does not require treatment. Chinese herbal medicine can also be used, such as blood-activating and stasis-resolving herbs like Xuesaitong tablets. These can help reduce local edema and promote the absorption of hydrocele. There is no need to worry. The testicle will gradually stabilize in position. It takes time, so be patient.
