Patient's question:
1/16 surgery was performed, the doctor said it went smoothly, but after almost three months, one vein in the left scrotum has become thickened, and sometimes the lower epididymis hurts a bit. Why is this? One doctor said the surgery was not ideal. Is that the case?Doctor's answer:
About three months after the left varicocele surgery, there is one vein extending in the left scrotum, and the epididymis sometimes hurts. Post-surgery, there is a recovery period. The recurrence of scrotal varicocele and inguinal varicocele is not the same thing. Don't worry too much; just wait a few more months and see—things should improve. Inguinal varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and eat a balanced diet.
