Patient's question:
What are the causes of varicocele? I have had varicocele for many years, and I just had varicocele surgery yesterday. I am worried that improper postoperative care may cause secondary damage to the wound and hinder wound healing. I don't want to leave behind postoperative sequelae. What should I pay attention to after varicocele surgery?Doctor's answer:
After surgery, the leg with varicose veins should be elevated. It needs to be slightly higher than your heart level. Keep the wound clean with sterile gauze and maintain dryness. Use antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor for focused treatment, and use hemostatic drugs in appropriate amounts. If a varicose vein patient needs surgery, it is recommended to seek treatment at a reputable tertiary hospital. Not only is the effect better, but it is also safer. Do not delay treatment during the process to avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment. It is not advisable to seek treatment at small clinics or roadside hospitals, as they lack basic safety guarantees.
