Patient's question:
Hello, two months ago I had a varicocele surgery. Recently, I often feel swelling and pain in my legs. Sometimes rubbing them with my hands helps a bit. When standing, I sometimes feel soreness in my waist and legs. Is this a problem with my kidneys?Doctor's answer:
Varicocelectomy surgery is generally performed using high ligation. Postoperatively, there is usually some discomfort, but since your surgery has been over two months ago, the current swelling and pain in your legs are likely not very related to the surgery. The current symptoms suggest the possibility of lumbar muscle strain. You can try local acupuncture and cupping therapy, which will be very helpful in stabilizing the symptoms.For patients, if the condition of male reproductive health is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the condition. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
