What's wrong with the pain when pressing after varicocele surgery?

Patient's question:

Hello! I am a former patient of yours who had varicocele surgery here. It has been four years since the operation. Recently, I don't know why there is pain in the lower left part of my scrotum, and I feel a heavy sensation on the left side. At that time, the surgery was also performed on the left side. I can't find the medical records from before, but what should I do now!!

Doctor's answer:

After varicocele surgery, the condition may recur over time. Therefore, it is recommended that you promptly visit the hospital where you had the surgery for a follow-up check-up to assess the current situation. The main symptoms of varicocele are usually swelling or pain, which is the most common presentation. Generally, if the underlying cause of the varicocele is not addressed, the condition is likely to recur after surgery. Hence, I advise you to seek a follow-up evaluation from the original clinic to clarify the current condition before making further preparations.
