What should be paid attention to in the postoperative care of varicocele?

Varicose veins are extremely harmful to men. The most obvious harm is that it will make men lose their fertility, which they are proud of. In addition, the various symptoms of this disease in daily life make patients miserable. From a medical point of view, the treatment of this disease should be surgical treatment. So, after the operation, how should the patient be cared for?

1. Follow your doctor’s instructions

After treating varicocele, male friends must complete the recovery process according to the doctor's instructions. During the process, they need to pay attention to the prevention of infection to avoid complications.

2. Pay attention to lifting the scrotum after surgery

After surgery for varicocele, men should wear briefs because this can help support the scrotum, which usually lasts about 1-2 weeks.

3. Prohibition of sexual life

After surgical treatment of varicocele, male friends need to avoid masturbation and sexual intercourse within one month, because these will affect the recovery of varicocele.

4. Sit less, stand less, and exercise less

Male friends are still in the recovery stage after treatment, so they should be careful not to overwork, combine work and rest, avoid standing or sitting for too long, reduce some intense exercise, and pay more attention to diet, avoid eating too spicy and greasy food, and focus on light food.

5. Avoid other special treatments

After treatment, the scrotum may become edematous or the testicles may be slightly swollen, which will generally subside within three months. Apart from lifting the scrotum, no other treatment should be done.

6. Take breaks

Generally, it is recommended to rest in bed for about 5 days after the operation. At the same time, special attention should be paid when turning over and getting up, and do not use abdominal strength. If there are no special circumstances, the stitches will be removed after one week.
