Can varicocele surgery cause constipation?

Varicocele surgery may cause constipation. Varicocele surgery usually includes laparoscopic surgery and open surgery, which may cause some irritation to the abdominal cavity and affect the bowel function, which may lead to constipation and bloating. Symptoms can be relieved by eating a light diet with more vitamins and foods with laxative effects. After varicocele surgery, patients should pay attention to appropriate rest, avoid overwork, keep the perineum clean and dry, and prohibit touching water for a short period of time to prevent infection. The patient’s diet should be light and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. When constipation occurs after varicocele surgery, patients are advised to go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the condition leading to adverse consequences.
