Patient's question:
Previously, I had varicocele in the left testicle and underwent surgery for it. However, now I am unable to have sexual intercourse, and recently, frequent sexual activity might lead to a recurrence of the condition on the other side. After intercourse, I feel the veins in the testicle are very prominent—what could be the reason? Additionally, my testicle feels a bit uncomfortable, slightly swollen, and has a mild ache—what is going on?Doctor's answer:
You have already undergone surgery for varicocele on the left side. Now you have the habit of intercourse but it cannot be stopped. However, it may also occur on the right side. After the surgery for varicocele on the left side, you now have the habit of intercourse and it is very frequent. You need to stop it immediately, otherwise, varicocele may also recur on the right side. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, you need to go to a professional and regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to restricting sexual life.
