Patient's question:
After the varicocele surgery, there is swelling in the scrotum. Taking medication and intravenous drips, but after a week, there is no sign of reduction in swelling. It has slightly decreased, should treatment continue?Doctor's answer:
This is a normal condition and does not require excessive concern. The surgery for varicocele only ligates the proximal varicose veins, while the distal varicose veins are not removed. Therefore, swelling may recur in the early stages, but it usually subsides after three months. In addition to treating male urological conditions, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
