Patient's question:
I just had varicocele surgery 22 days ago, and the right side is more severe. Now, both testicles sometimes feel hard, and there's pain on the right side, with a painful sensation when touched. What could be the situation?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the condition, it is considered that surgical venous ligation for induced abortion may be necessary. We need to assess the extent of damage to the surrounding structures (such as blood vessels and lymphatic vessels), as well as the local circulatory disorders caused by this. If you are still concerned, you can go to the surgical department for an examination (color Doppler ultrasound).It is recommended that you follow a light diet, avoid extremely cold and spicy foods, and prevent catching a cold or developing a fever. Refrain from sexual activity, get plenty of rest, and maintain a positive mood with adequate deep sleep. Varicocele is a condition that tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital as soon as possible. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to limit sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
