Patient's question:
I had varicocele surgery on the microscope, and it has been two weeks since the operation. But I feel the same as before, still often in pain. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
After varicose vein surgery, there is a process of blood circulation reconstruction. In the short term, there may be temporary accumulation of tissue fluid, known as hydrocele. For some people, this condition may persist for 1-3 months, while for a few, it may last even longer. However, as blood circulation is restored, the accumulation of local tissue fluid in most cases will gradually disappear, and the symptoms will also subside. It is recommended to increase inversion, movement, and weight-bearing during this period. You can wear skin-friendly underwear to support the scrotum. If the pain and swelling are particularly severe, it is advised to revisit the hospital for follow-up treatment. In addition to treating male urological conditions, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
