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, stitches are usually removed about one 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 heals, you can basically return to normal life, and taking a bath is also fine. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
