Is Varicose Cord Surgery Painful?

Varicose cord is a common clinical disease, which occurs more frequently in adult men. Many cases of male infertility are related to varicocele. The treatment of varicocele is usually based on surgery. Any surgery is painful, and anesthetics will be taken during the operation depending on the physical condition.

Postoperative Care

1. Follow the doctor's advice: 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 undergoing varicocele surgery, male friends should wear briefs, because this can help lift the scrotum, which usually lasts for about 1-2 weeks.

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

4. Sit, stand 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, do not stand or sit for too long, reduce some intense exercise, and pay more attention to diet, avoid eating spicy and greasy food, and mainly eat 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. Except for lifting the scrotum, do not do any other treatment.

6. Pay attention to rest: It is generally recommended to rest in bed for about 5 days after the operation. At the same time, you should pay special attention 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.

Recuperation

1. Dietary adjustment: Taking more vitamins C and E can also help improve blood circulation.

2. Pay attention to keeping a good mood: avoid violent anger that may damage the liver, pay attention to diet adjustments, and avoid spicy foods.

3. Moderate sexual intercourse: Have regular sex life, prevent excessive intercourse, often wear tight underwear or use a scrotal support to prevent the scrotum from falling.

4. Perform correct leg exercises: You can lie on your back on the bed and do exercises such as cycling, leg lifting, and leg flexion and extension. These can enhance the elasticity of leg muscles, help blood circulation, and slow down varicose veins.

5. Massage: When you sit down to rest after walking tired, don’t forget to give your calves a simple massage from bottom to top. Sit correctly and don’t cross your legs. When sitting for a long time, try to avoid crossing your legs or legs to avoid affecting blood circulation.

6. Avoid standing for long periods of time: Try to avoid standing for long periods of time. If you have to stand for a long period of time due to work, it is best to stand on both feet alternately, that is, bend one foot slightly and let the weight of your body be on the other foot, or move and swing your legs alternately, and find opportunities to walk around.
