Patient's question:
Left testicular hydrocele, after surgery, can you buy medicine by yourself at a pharmacy for treatment? How long does it take to recover completely?Doctor's answer:
If you are in the recovery period after surgery, the main approach is to focus on conditioning. If there is no inflammation or infection, medication is not necessary. Key attention should be paid to rest, enhancing nutrition, increasing exercise to strengthen the body, and consuming foods rich in calcium, iron, and zinc. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Avoid sexual activity within the first month. Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, as well as maintaining personal hygiene.
