Patient's question:
Yesterday I had a hydrocele drainage and got two stitches. I don't feel much. Can I skip the hospital visit to change the dressing?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it's best to go to the hospital to change the dressing to avoid infection. It is recommended not to eat spicy or irritating foods in your daily diet and to keep the wound area clean and dry at all times. Change the dressing regularly to resolve the issue. Hydrocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it's important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it's necessary to restrict sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
