What are the postoperative precautions after varicocele surgery?

Patient's question:

I just had varicose vein surgery yesterday. I'm worried that improper postoperative care might cause secondary damage to the wound, which is not conducive to wound healing. I don't want to leave behind any aftereffects. What are the precautions after varicocele surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele is a common disease among young and middle-aged people, which is an inflammation of the testicles. If it is not treated promptly and effectively, it may lead to neurosis, sexual dysfunction, or even testicular atrophy, and may interfere with sperm quality, resulting in infertility.
After varicocele surgery, the scrotum does not necessarily become loose. Under normal circumstances, if the temperature in the scrotal area is high, the scrotum will relax to facilitate heat dissipation. Conversely, when it is cold—this refers to the temperature of the scrotal area—the scrotum will contract into a tight bundle to maintain its internal temperature. This helps ensure that the testicles and epididymis inside the scrotum, especially the sperm within the testicles, have an appropriate environment for storage and survival.
