Post varicocelectomy, three days after the surgery, there is blood in the incision. What could be the reason?

Patient's question:

What is the reason for blood discharge from the incision three days after varicocelectomy surgery? Is it okay not to re-bandage after sterilizing with disinfectant?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, if the wound has redness, swelling, and oozing of blood, it is considered that there may be a wound infection. Advice: It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit to change the dressing to resolve the issue. If there is accumulated fluid in the wound, it may also be necessary to perform wound dilation and drainage. The daily treatment for patients with urological diseases mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take various oral medications, supplemented by vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
