Recovery after varicocele treatment
Recovery varies with the procedure, your job and how you heal. Mild soreness, bruising and swelling can happen in the first few days and should gradually improve. Your own discharge instructions take priority.
In short
- Use the pain relief, wound care and support advice given by your care team.
- Ask before heavy lifting, exercise, driving or sex.
- Contact the clinic if you are unsure whether a symptom is expected.
