Patient's question:
I had varicocele surgery. It was done under the microscope. Today is the 16th day. The doctor will check how well I have fully recovered. Mainly, whether I can take a bath.Doctor's answer:
Your wound looks to be healing quite well at the moment. It is currently quite dry without any signs of redness or discharge. You may consider having the stitches removed. After the stitches are taken out, the wound will gradually form scars in the gaps between the stitches. Therefore, it is best to wait for a couple of days after the stitches are removed for the gaps to heal before taking a bath. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
