Patient's question:
17 days after varicocele surgery, can you take a bath? Can you take a bath? I really want to take a bathDoctor's answer:
After varicocele surgery, the stitches are usually removed about a week later. If there is no abnormal wound healing, you can take a bath. It is recommended that after surgery, the main goal is to prevent wound infection. Once the wound has healed, you can generally return to normal life, and taking a bath is also fine. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, so long-term medication is usually required. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital as soon as possible. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
