Reparación de una torsión testicular - Recuperación

Expectativas después de la cirugía:

Si la cirugía se lleva a cabo a tiempo, se puede esperar una recuperación completa. En caso de que se deba extraer un testículo, el testículo sano restante debe suministrar suficientes hormonas para la maduración, vida sexual y fertilidad normales del hombre.

Convalecencia:

Después de la cirugía, la aplicación de compresas de hielo aliviarán el dolor y la inflamación. Es posible que tenga que usar un soporte escrotal durante una semana después de la cirugía. Reanude la actividad normal de manera gradual.
