Patient's question:
After a week of left varicocele surgery, I noticed swelling and pain in the left testicle. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
After varicocele surgery, it is normal to experience local discomfort, including testicular swelling and pain, so temporary close observation is recommended! It is advised to apply cold compresses locally and perform gentle massage. If discomfort persists, you can visit the hospital for an ultrasound examination or consult your operating surgeon for further advice. For varicocele patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
