What should I do if the recovery from varicocele surgery is not going well?

Patient's question:

After the varicocele surgery for a year, the testicle doesn't hurt basically, but when pressing the wound with hand, it still feels a bit painful? It would never hurt normally. Is there a problem? How come it hasn't recovered completely yet?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele is treated using laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery or an open incision in the groin area. If an open incision is used, it may be larger and cause discomfort, and there may also be reactions such as knots, leading to discomfort. Laparoscopic incisions are small, and generally, there is little discomfort after the surgery. Based on your description, varicocele is treated using laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery or an open incision in the groin area. If an open incision is used, it may be larger and cause discomfort.
