How long does varicocele take to recover?

Patient's question:

I am 22 years old and have just returned from the military. It's possible that I developed varicocele from standing guard during my service. My family has introduced me to a partner and I want to get married and have children as soon as possible. However, my condition hasn't been fully treated yet, and I'm feeling very distressed. Could you please tell me how long it takes to recover from varicocele?

Doctor's answer:

After varicocele surgery, it generally takes about 7 days for the wound to fully heal, and it may take around 15 days to resume normal activities without restrictions. Reappearance of pain is usually rare, with only mild heaviness or fullness in the scrotum during the early stage. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is often slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications appropriately during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
