Patient's question:
It has been a year since the surgery. Right after the surgery, touching the testicles was painful, but it was fine when untouched. The follow-up doctor said everything was fine. Even now, after a year, touching them still causes a little pain.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common disease in young and middle-aged men. It is a pathological phenomenon where the pampiniform plexus of the spermatic cord becomes dilated, tortuous, and elongated due to various reasons leading to poor venous drainage. For mild varicocele, treatment may include reporting to the scrotum and applying cold compresses. For more severe varicocele, minimally invasive high ligation of the varicocele can be performed. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment at a regular and professional hospital. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, patients must actively cooperate with the doctor's care, take medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to personal hygiene.
