Patient's question:

Does varicocele surgery affect penile sexual function? I'm having the surgery the day after tomorrow and I'm worried about postoperative complications. Can you help? Does varicocele surgery affect penile sexual function? Currently, after an erection, I can't feel the varicocele anymore.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Based on the situation you described, it is inferred that post-surgery, sexual life is generally not significantly affected. If you are particularly concerned, you can schedule an in-person consultation with your attending physician. He will provide a detailed explanation. It is recommended to rest more after surgery and avoid pushing or jostling. Temporarily reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Sexual activity should be avoided in the short term after surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
