Patient's question:
On the 14th of this month, I had bilateral varicocele surgery. After the surgery, I felt a heavy pain in my testicles for about a week. What's going on? How long does it take for sperm to fully recover after surgery? Can I have sex and have a child one month after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
This is normal. Surgery is also a psychological trauma and stimulation, which can lead to swelling of the genital organs. At least one month of rest is required in this case. After one month, a follow-up ultrasound will be conducted to determine the extent of recovery and decide whether it is possible to have children or engage in sexual activity. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, while also paying attention to personal hygiene.
