Patient's question:
People who stand frequently are prone to varicose veins. Recently, I noticed some blood vessels exposed on my legs and had them checked, which was diagnosed as mild varicocele. I would like to consult about how long it takes for varicocele surgery to heal? How is bilateral varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of varicocele surgery will gradually subside. Generally, stitches are removed about 7 days after surgery, and recovery is usually complete within about a month. Sexual activity should be strictly prohibited for one month post-surgery, and strenuous exercise (such as playing basketball, running, jumping rope) as well as heavy physical labor should be avoided. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods, smoking, or drinking alcohol. Maintain a light diet, reduce consumption of spicy and irritating foods, and ensure a balanced nutritional intake to effectively prevent recurrence.Recommendation: If you have phimosis, both procedures can be performed simultaneously. After diagnosis, it is advisable to seek surgical treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment and compromising your health. It is best to consult a reputable public hospital, clarify the details, and then proceed with the treatment.
