Patient's question:
After varicocele surgery, is it normal for the testicle to become larger? Is there anything that can make the testicle smaller?Doctor's answer:
After varicocele surgery, it is generally guaranteed that it will never grow back. If the testicle suddenly enlarges, it is considered an abnormal physiological phenomenon in clinical diagnosis. When testicular enlargement reoccurs, the first consideration should be whether it is a complication resulting from the surgery. When orchitis causes testicular enlargement, the first step is to perform a color Doppler ultrasound of the testicle to diagnose the inflammation, and treatment can be administered with oral antibiotics to reduce inflammation.
