What’s with the pneumothorax after varicocele surgery?

Pneumothorax does not usually occur after varicocele surgery. The appearance of pneumothorax in patients may be related to the rupture of the pleura of the dirty layer, chest injury, pulmonary herpes and other reasons.
1. Rupture of the pleura of the dirty layer: gas leaks into the chest cavity from the alveolar or bronchial pleura. If the patient suffers from asthma, COPD, pneumonia, etc., it will lead to the damage of lung tissues, and thus the appearance of pneumothorax.
2. Chest injury: when the patient’s chest is injured, including the chest is directly hit by violence, fracture, and so on, as well as indirect injury, it will cause the lung to collapse, resulting in the patient’s pneumothorax.
3. Lung blisters: Lung blisters will be formed at the tip of the lungs, and once ruptured, the air inside the blisters will diffuse into the pleural cavity, thus causing the patient to develop a pneumothorax.
If there is no relationship between pneumothorax and varicocele, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor, relevant examinations, according to the specific results of the examination, to take targeted treatment, life should be closely monitor the condition, and to maintain good living habits.
