Patient's question:
Varicocele caused the left testicle to enlarge. After surgery, it has been 22 days and the swelling has subsided, but the testicle is still the same size as before the surgery. I would like to ask how long it will take for the testicle to return to the same size as the right one, how long it will take to fully recover, and how long it will take to be able to conceive.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele causes the left testicle to enlarge, and a full recovery is required for 3 to 6 months after surgery. Additionally, it is necessary to rule out other diseases that may cause testicular enlargement, such as epididymitis. You need to have an MRI examination of the external genitalia. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect your health condition. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life to avoid spicy foods.
