Patient's question:
Doctor, a few days ago at a private men's hospital, he reviewed my test reports and recommended a high ligation of the varicocele on one side. He also said I have moderate premature ejaculation and suggested an inguinal deep vein embolization of the penis. The doctor also had a catheter inserted into my urethra to treat my prostate. I usually experience frequent urination and incomplete urination. In the past month, when I had sex with my girlfriend, I would get soft halfway through. The test report indicated prostatic calcification and a degree of varicocele, with a left side measurement of 2.8. I have undergone all the recommended surgeries. For the first three days, I went to a hospital for postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment and urethral anti-inflammation. On the fourth day, I stopped going. Do you think I still need to take anti-inflammatory medication? Now, when I touch the wound a few times, it hurts a little, but it's fine when I don't touch it. What should I do? Do I need to go to the hospital to have the stitches removed? I'm afraid that if I go, the doctor will ask me to spend a lot of money. I'm so desperate. Please help me.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify your doubts. According to your description of your condition, you have already had surgery and are in the recovery period. I recommend that you go to the hospital where you had the surgery and focus on treatment until you are fully recovered. If you have doubts about the hospital that performed your surgery, I suggest you go to another tertiary hospital's urology department for a face-to-face consultation and compare the two hospitals. You indeed have symptoms, which is why you went to the hospital for follow-up treatment, and the hospital used surgery to treat you. The initial treatment has already been completed, and it is now in the recovery period. Most of the money has already been spent, with just a small remainder left. If you do not receive treatment, any subsequent consequences will be entirely your responsibility, and it may cost you even more money.
