What should I do if there is redness, swelling, and pain at the incision site a few days after varicocelectomy?

Patient's question:

I had varicocele surgery last August, and the incision has been particularly painful and swollen these past few days.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, this should be a scar formed after surgery. Therefore, the current pain or itching is likely caused by scar sensitivity. It is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and pay close attention to rest. In terms of diet, avoid spicy foods. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
