Patient's question:
5 months ago, I had varicocele surgery. For the first two weeks, I suddenly experienced testicular pain that has persisted until now. Before the pain, I had engaged in many intense physical activities. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, including a color Doppler ultrasound, and the results were normal. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
A small portion of patients may experience testicular pain again after undergoing varicocele surgery, which may be related to the anatomical structure of the spermatic cord itself. Alternatively, excessive traction on the spermatic cord during surgery could also lead to postoperative testicular pain.Recommendation: To prevent prolonged standing or sitting after surgery, we can engage in appropriate exercise. Appropriate exercise includes activities like walking, running, etc., but prolonged standing or sitting should be avoided.
Varicocele conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and reputable medical care. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is advisable to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
