Patient's question:
I had a varicocele surgery on the left side and an orchiecitis on the right that has been swollen. Previously, the doctor said it would never return to its original size, but now there is no pain or redness and swelling. However, on the left side, there is some heaviness and pain, which feels like it might be testicular pain. Is this because the surgery wasn't successful or something else?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it cannot be concluded that the surgery didn't go well. It's possible that your expectations for this surgery were too high. Take a moment to calm down, as there isn't much discomfort. Wait and see for a while. You can have an ultrasound or a varicocele contrast study to see how the varicose veins are doing now. Wear soft, loose cotton pants, avoid sitting or riding for long periods, don't drink beer, and don't eat spicy or irritating foods. Rest well and avoid overworking. It is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
