Patient's question:
Hello! I had laparoscopic varicocelectomy surgery on August 5th, and the stitches were removed 9 days after the surgery. However, after the surgery, I have been washing my face with cold water and my hands have been constantly touching cold water. Is this okay? Could you please take a look at my condition to see if I have fully recovered?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, after your varicocele surgery, you have been using cold water to wash your face and hands, and have been constantly exposed to cold water. As long as the surgical incision does not come into contact with water, it will not interfere with the healing of your surgical scar. Based on the pictures you purchased, the incision site of your abdominal varicocele laparoscopic surgery is healing well, without inflammation, so you can rest assured. Don't worry. Varicocele conditions can easily recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to immediately seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis, and treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
