Does smoking affect varicocele ligation after high ligation surgery?

Patient's question:

What interference would there be if I smoked a cigarette one month after undergoing bilateral high ligation surgery for varicocele?

Doctor's answer:

Bilateral varicocele, most of which are accompanied by a sense of heaviness and fullness in the perineum. It is somewhat related to prolonged sitting. High ligation surgery has already been performed, and generally, there is no significant problem. Now, more than a month after the surgery, smoking one cigarette will not cause significant interference. However, smoking is unhealthy, so it is best to avoid it as much as possible. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to appropriate activity and avoid prolonged sitting. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
