Is it okay to have prolonged erections after varicocele surgery?

Patient's question:

I had surgery for varicocele and removal of a testicular polyp 7 days ago, and the scrotal mirror was also removed. Lately, I've been with my girlfriend. I know that sexual activity is not allowed for a month, but I'm quite sensitive and tend to get erections easily. Could prolonged erections cause any harm? If so, I won't see my girlfriend this month. I hope the doctor can advise me on this. After prolonged erections, my genitalia secrete a viscous fluid. How can this be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Just after undergoing varicocele and testicular polyp surgery, it is advisable to avoid holding urine and sexual impulses from recurring. Based on the situation you described, it is necessary to readjust your state and prevent excessive anxiety and tension. A period of thorough recovery is required, and there is no need for undue worry. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition tends to recur after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to personal hygiene.
