Will there be an erection after varicocele surgery?

Patient's question:

I've had the surgery for 13 days now, it's a laparoscopic varicocele surgery on both sides. Now the right testicle is still a bit swollen and more noticeable. Does it feel harder and thicker than before? Is it related to erection? I had an erection for about one or two hours the other two days.

Doctor's answer:

Since it has only been 13 days after the surgery, this is expected. If varicose veins recur, they will only appear on the surface and will not remove the internal components, so there may still be noticeable thickening. If you experience this, you should also go to the hospital for a detailed examination by a doctor. If necessary, an ultrasound can be performed to clearly observe the internal tissue structure, so a thorough examination is necessary to understand the situation.
