Patient's question:
I felt uncomfortable in my legs recently, and there were blood vessels leaking. I went for a check-up and was diagnosed with varicocele. I would like to consult about how long it takes for varicocele surgery to heal?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 for long periods, smoking, or drinking alcohol. Maintain a light diet, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and ensure a balanced nutritional intake to effectively prevent recurrence.
