Patient's question:
On May 28th, I had bilateral varicocele surgery at Zhengzhou First People's Hospital. Now, when playing basketball, I mostly shoot and rarely run. After playing, I feel a bit uncomfortable. The doctor said I shouldn't have sexual activity within three months. Is it okay for me in this situation?Doctor's answer:
After varicocele surgery, it is necessary to have proper cold therapy to prevent excessive local movement from causing inflammation to worsen. Microcalculi and cysts are both benign inflammatory conditions. If there is no pain and does not interfere with normal life, they can be temporarily monitored. There is no need to worry too much. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used symptomatically, and during the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and a proper diet.
