Patient's question:
Last October, I had surgery for varicocele because I had been diagnosed with it before. Now, the symptoms are pain in the lower abdomen, a feeling of swelling, and pain during urination.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you have described, it is generally advisable to consider prostatitis as the cause of the lower abdominal discomfort and fullness. It is recommended that you visit a specialized urology department for a thorough examination of the scrotal varicocele through color Doppler ultrasound to observe the complete recovery of the veins. Additionally, a prostate fluid examination should be conducted to make a clear diagnosis, which may determine whether sitz baths can help alleviate the symptoms.For patients with prostatitis, in addition to active treatment, it is important to maintain a positive mood in daily life, as a good attitude is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
