Patient's question:
My husband had a thorough examination in the hospital last month and was diagnosed with varicocele. He had surgery yesterday, and just now he said he's experiencing pain after the varicocele surgery. I feel very heartbroken and worried, so I wanted to ask you several times what should be done in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele, in general, if it reaches moderate or severe stages, surgery is the only option to correct it. Surgery is the only effective method, and it requires mental preparation, as drug treatment is largely ineffective. While lifestyle modifications can provide some assistance, there is still a possibility of recurrence after surgery. This is the only drawback. Post-surgery pain can be relieved by applying cold compresses to the affected area.
