Patient's question:
Previously, I was admitted to the emergency department for testicular torsion rescue surgery, which involved the reduction of the left testicle and fixation of the opposite side. During the hospital stay, I received antibiotic treatment for 10 days. Upon discharge, there was slight in the affected area, which was closed with absorbable sutures. Now, 2 days after the surgery, I would like to know what follow-up tests are generally recommended after testicular torsion surgery?Doctor's answer:
After testicular torsion surgery, it is generally necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up, usually an ultrasound to assess the scarring. The patient should ideally have the operating doctor examine for any changes or abnormalities, along with an ultrasound. Rest well during recovery. Underwear should be loose and breathable. Pay attention to maintaining good local hygiene and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. The diet must be carefully planned to include nutrient-rich, balanced meals of meat, fish, eggs, beans, and fresh vegetables, which are easy to digest.
