Patient's question:
Why do the veins still feel swollen one month after bilateral high ligation surgery for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Bilateral varicocelectomy surgery does not involve removing the dilated veins within the varicocele; instead, it involves high ligation. The varicocele veins in the scrotum are not removed. Currently, most varicocelectomy surgeries involve high ligation without removing the dilated veins within the scrotum. Therefore, even though the condition has been treated, you may still be able to feel the dilated veins. This is nothing to worry about, and I hope my explanation helps you! Varicocelectomy can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's care, use medication appropriately, and patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene.
