What to do about hydrocele after varicocelectomy?

Patient's question:

Post varicocelectomy, a recurrent hydrocele has appeared above the right testicle, with one measuring 2.2?0.8 and the other 1.7?0.7, accompanied by swelling and pain. Besides surgery, what other treatments are available?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring cases should undergo careful examination, as they may have a potential for re-infection. Antimicrobial treatment should be administered. In your case, the first step is to receive antimicrobial treatment, increase exercise, and apply local treatment. If necessary, you should visit the urology department of the hospital for a follow-up. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication intake is required. Additionally, male patients should seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Moreover, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
