Patient's question:
It has been one month since my varicocele surgery. During this period, I had four episodes of nocturnal emissions, not intentionally. Yesterday, I had a sexual encounter, and afterward, I noticed that my scrotum has become loose again, and I also saw the small cluster of veins that I had before. Is it a recurrence of the condition?Doctor's answer:
Considering that the possibility of recurrence is relatively high if postoperative care is not properly managed, it is recommended that you visit a local reputable hospital's urology department for follow-up and reexamination to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment. Rest more, avoid heavy physical labor, strenuous exercise, prolonged sitting, and standing within the year. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
