Patient's question:
My boyfriend just had a varicocele surgery at the hospital yesterday, but he's still experiencing some pain down there. So I wanted to ask what precautions are necessary after varicocele surgery? What should be paid attention to in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is generally related to hereditary factors, prolonged sitting, and poor blood circulation. For patients who have undergone varicocele surgery, it is important to rest more, avoid strenuous exercise, and prevent overly frequent sexual activity to avoid worsening the condition. It is also necessary to maintain dryness in the affected area to prevent infection. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume light and appropriate foods, avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
