Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had surgery for varicocele. After the surgery, there was severe pain and a heavy sensation of descent in the testicles during penile erection, and I felt that a vein on the inner thigh was also in pain, with intense pain. At the same time, the scrotum felt damp.Doctor's answer:
After varicocelectomy, the local veins are generally ligated at a high position. In this case, if there is a sensation of testicular descent, it may be caused by local cerebral edema. This sensation is a temporary postoperative symptom. Generally, it can be effectively relieved through physical therapy, applying warm towels, and taking a few internal treatments. This can significantly alleviate the pain. If necessary, blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving drugs can be used. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet during the treatment period.
