Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of your text:"5 and a half weeks after epididymal cyst removal, please give me some advice."
(Note: The line breaks and quotation marks are preserved as per your request.)
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is a drain tube after cyst removal. Generally, the choice of drain tube depends on the size and depth of the wound, not fixed. If the wound is deep, it may still be necessary to use a drain tube. Since the scrotal skin is thin and has low tension, a regular drain tube is usually used, approximately 10 centimeters long. The drain tube is generally not used for more than 3 days. Now after surgery, the main thing is to prevent infection and focus on anti-inflammatory treatment.
