Patient's question:
Eighteen days after varicocele surgery, the scrotum has already subsided, but today I had a strong sexual urge and experienced an erection for a while. Then, the scrotum felt a bit uncomfortable and slightly swollen. Is this normal? Can I go to work as usual?Doctor's answer:
It has been 18 days since the varicocele surgery. Although the wound has fully healed, the varicose veins have not completely recovered. If the erection lasts too long due to increased blood flow, it may interfere with the scrotum. In such cases, you should rest more, increase erections, and strictly prohibit sexual activity. Gradually, full recovery can be achieved. If you work in an office, it is acceptable. Heavy physical labor is no longer possible. Patients face the harm of urological diseases, and we should actively implement careful examinations and treatments. Avoid avoiding medical visits. If urological diseases are not cured after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
