Patient's question:
Medical Description: Checked in the hospital for a three-degree varicocele. Tested semen analysis, found high rates of abnormal sperm, but other tests were normal. The doctor recommended surgery. I just got married, and after the marriage, my wife had two natural miscarriages. I don't know if it's related to this. It has been one and a half months since the surgery, but the left testicle is still larger, and there is some pain when touched.History of Treatment and Effect: Two and a half months ago, I had surgery for varicocele!
Help Needed: Is this situation normal?
Doctor's answer:
After the surgery, swelling has occurred, which may not be frequent but could be a sign of complications. Currently, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an examination, including an ultrasound. If it is edema, intravenous fluids and anti-inflammatory treatment will be required, along with more rest and less activity. Wear loose underwear and avoid overexertion. Avoid masturbation for the first month. Under normal circumstances, the left scrotum is slightly smaller than the right, which is normal. This may be due to the body not fully recovering post-surgery and there is no need to worry too much. In the future, pay attention to getting more rest and taking good care of your body. Avoid overexertion, and ensure your diet is rich in nutrients.
