Patient's question:
After completing the varicocele surgery on both sides, why is my left leg fine, but my right thigh to the root of the leg has a small area that feels numb, and whenever I stand up, it feels like a pain inside the muscle. What could be the reason? Could it be that the doctor injured the nerve in my leg during the surgery, or is this a normal phenomenon?Doctor's answer:
After the bilateral varicocele surgery, a small area from the right thigh to the root of the leg is numb, which is a normal phenomenon. The above condition is considered related to surgical complications, as minor nerves and blood vessels may be damaged during the procedure, which will gradually return to normal over time. Varicocele is a condition prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication for management. Additionally, male patients should seek timely treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, with treatment decisions based on thorough examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should also be observed.
