Patient's question:
I was 17 when I had surgery for a hernia and varicocele, and one month after the surgery, I started feeling pain. Today, while taking the bus, the pain suddenly became severe, and walking even caused pain. I had never experienced this level of pain before the surgery. When I touched it, it felt like a large, round, flat lump. Before this, only the upper part of the incision and the upper left side hurt.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, the situation you mentioned could be a postoperative complication, but it cannot be fully confirmed at this time. The condition you described requires hospital check-ups. Based solely on your description, it cannot be fully confirmed, and a magnetic resonance examination is necessary. I hope my explanation helps you. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. I hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
