Hi there! I reckon this is a case for an urologist and even your surgeon who performed the surgery. Although complications are rare and make only 3-5% of all varicocelectomies performed, they do occur.
The most common complications are formation of the hydrocele, epididymitis, recurrent varicocele, or injury to the internal spermatic artery.
Now, considering your urinalysis was clear, I would rule out epididymitis, which is a bacterial infection of the tube that lies on the testicle and if the infection occurred, it would be found during urinalyses.
Hydroceles are cysts filled with fluid that form in scrotum sacs. They cause the swelling of the scrotum but rarely pain. Damage to the testicular artery may prevent supplies the scrotum but it rarely occurs.
Considering that the complications are present, you should see a doc.
Depending on when you had your surgery, mild swelling and pain are normal. |
