Patient's question:
I want to have laparoscopic surgery for varicocele. Yesterday, the doctor at the hospital told me that:1. The testicle may still hurt for one to two months after the surgery.
2. There may be a recurrence of hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis.
3. If there is a missed ligation, it may cause complications later.
What is the probability of experiencing these three complications again?
Doctor's answer:
Any surgery carries certain risks, which means there may be some complications, some of which are inevitable. However, after this surgery, the three complications you mentioned are relatively rare. Out of ten, there would never be one or two. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during the treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor, take medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period.
