Patient's question:
I've had a varicocele surgery for a week now. In the first few days, I was coughing due to a cold, and the abdominal wound hurt when I coughed. It's been getting better these days. Except for the first week after the surgery, I haven't worn underwear at all. I've only been wearing a very loose pair of shorts. Is that okay? Should I use a scrotal support?Doctor's answer:
This is unnecessary because you have undergone varicocele surgery and require careful postoperative observation. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and implement thorough postoperative recovery treatment. Only in this way can the condition be properly understood and effectively resolved. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical treatment promptly, considering the examination results for treatment planning. It is also important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
