Reparación de una torsión testicular - Recovery

Después del procedimiento:

Los analgésicos, el reposo y las compresas frías aliviarán el dolor y la hinchazón después de la cirugía. No aplique el hielo directamente sobre la piel; envuélvalo más bien en una toalla o tela. Descanse en la casa durante varios días. Usted puede usar un suspensorio escrotal por una semana después de la cirugía.

Evite la actividad extenuante durante 1 a 2 semanas y la actividad sexual durante aproximadamente 4 a 6 semanas. Comience a realizar sus actividades normales lentamente.

Pronóstico:

Si la cirugía se hace a tiempo, usted debe recuperarse por completo. Cuando se hace dentro de las 12 horas siguientes al comienzo de los síntomas, el testículo se puede salvar aproximadamente en el 70% de las veces.

Si hay que extirpar un testículo, el testículo sano que queda debe suministrar las hormonas suficientes para el crecimiento, la vida sexual y la fertilidad normales del hombre.
