Patient's question:
Just finished microsurgery for varicocele four days ago, the surgery was on the left side. Today, I suddenly touched my testicles and noticed that the left side (surgery site) is slightly larger than the right side. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the diameter of varicocele is less than 0.2 cm, and a condition of 0.3 cm indicates a relatively severe varicocele. This condition can easily lead to low sperm survival rates, poor sperm quality, and infertility in men. If you have this condition, it is recommended to seek examination and treatment as soon as possible. Surgical ligation of the high spermatic vein should be performed. It is also important to wear loose underwear and get adequate rest. Wishing you good health. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, and long-term oral medication may be necessary. For male patients, it is important to visit a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis and treatment based on the examination results.
