Patient's question:
It has been a week since my left varicocele surgery, but I couldn't control myself and had sexual intercourse. The incision has turned red. Is it due to sexual activity? Will it lead to complications? Will it affect my recovery?Doctor's answer:
From the current situation you've described, the redness you mentioned on the incision should be caused by sexual activity on the local skin. Generally, it is recommended to first focus on careful observation and monitor the condition of the affected skin to see if it stabilizes. If necessary, you should visit the urology department for further examination. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is important to actively cooperate with the doctor, use medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period.
