Patient's question:
What are the causes of varicocele? I have had varicocele for many years, and I just had varicocele surgery yesterday. I am worried that improper postoperative care may cause secondary damage to the wound, which is not conducive to wound healing. I don’t want to leave behind postoperative sequelae. What should I pay attention to after varicocele surgery?Doctor's answer:
After surgery, the leg with varicose veins should be elevated. It needs to be slightly higher than your heart level. Keep the wound clean with sterile gauze and maintain dryness. Use antibiotics strictly according to the doctor's prescription and use hemostatic drugs in appropriate amounts. If a patient with varicose veins needs surgery, they should seek treatment at a reputable tertiary hospital. Not only is the effect better, but it is also safer. Do not delay treatment during the process, as it may miss the best opportunity for recovery. It is recommended to seek treatment at a legitimate private hospital rather than small clinics on the side of the road, as they lack basic safety guarantees.
