Patient's question:
I have had hydrocele for several years, which was caused by my varicocele surgery. I am now undergoing a thorough examination, and the doctor suggested that I undergo surgery for treatment. For my condition, is it better to treat it conservatively or surgically? Will it be affected if left untreated?Doctor's answer:
I suggest you start with strict treatment and pay attention to various aspects in daily life. You should not smoke or drink beer, wear leather pants as underwear, or eat spicy and irritating foods. Regular follow-up tests are necessary. Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
