What Causes Itching And Swelling In Testicles After Varicocele Surgery?

I received surgery for a varicocele on Monday. Right now, the lower portion of my swollen testicles is itching like CRAZY. No pain, just itching like mad. I know not to scratch, but I have no idea what to do to cause the itching to subside. Any suggestions?

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.

Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Post-Varicocelectomy Itching on operated side of Scortum.
This is is due to the healing process of the operative site.
This could be also due to the chemicals after effects and exfoliation of the skin layers around the unattended skin of the scrotum.
Suggestions-
Cleaning with dilute dettol sponging and there after Smearing of the scrotal skin with antiseptic cream would reduce it,with proper skin hydration.
Hope this would help you to solve your health issues in the best way possible.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Good Day!!
