Patient's question:
I previously had varicocele and underwent high ligation surgery. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with hydrocele, with a fluid accumulation of 40mm. The doctor recommended performing a hydrocelectomy.1. Is it because of a poor abortion that led to the hydrocele? During the hydrocelectomy surgery, does the high ligation part not need to be moved?
2. If it's not moved, will the fluid still flow into the accumulation in the future?
3. What is the success rate of the hydrocelectomy surgery, and what is the recurrence rate afterward?
Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is not recommended to undergo surgery again. You can opt for the following methods: rest and observe carefully. Applying warm compresses or cold packs is also effective, and you can use blood-activating and blood-stasis-reducing medications. It is essential to pay attention to rest and maintain a diet free of fish, shrimp, spicy, and other irritating foods. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure bowel regularity. Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Furthermore, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, and maintain good personal hygiene.
