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:
After varicocele surgery, you need to rest in bed for 3 to 5 days. Avoid straining your abdomen when turning over or going to bed. The stitches will usually be removed after one week, unless there are any special circumstances.It is recommended to wear triangular underwear for 1 to 2 weeks after varicocele surgery.
After varicocele surgery, swelling in the scrotum or testicles may recur. This usually subsides within 1 to 3 months, which is normal and does not require special treatment.
Regardless of the type of surgery, it is essential to follow the doctor's instructions.
Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month after varicocele surgery.
Recommendations:
During the recovery period after varicocele surgery, pay attention to rest and avoid prolonged standing or sitting. Do not engage in strenuous exercise. Avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet.
It is best to consult with a reputable large hospital before undergoing treatment.
