Do you need a follow-up examination after varicocele surgery?

Patient's question:

One month has passed since my varicocele surgery, and I'm recovering at home while taking some general medication. I was wondering if a follow-up check-up is necessary after varicocele surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after varicocele surgery, it is necessary to have regular follow-up ultrasound examinations to understand the recovery status of testicular size, the shape of the spermatic cord, and the epididymis. Even a routine semen analysis may be required to determine the postoperative testicular secretion function.
Advice: Rest well after surgery and maintain a positive mood. Quit smoking and drinking, avoid strenuous activities, and wear loose, breathable clothing.
