Is it normal for the varicose vein cluster on the left side to be smaller than before after varicocele surgery?

Patient's question:

Just had surgery, an open high uterine evacuation, the attending physician said it was a venous evacuation, but the middle part was not removed. Hello, will this evacuation line loosen or fall off, or will it cause problems over time. Postoperative, the left testicle is still larger than the right, there are still varicose veins but they are smaller than before, is this normal, thank you. In care's help: Postoperative, the left testicle is still larger than the right, there are still varicose veins but they are smaller than before, is this normal, thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hypothesis of the problem: Your condition is one month after varicocele surgery. This disease is a common clinical diagnosis characterized by the abnormal expansion, extension, and tortuosity of the pampiniform venous plexus within the spermatic cord. It is more common in young and middle-aged males and relatively less common in adolescents. Surgical methods include traditional open surgery, commonly used approaches such as retroperitoneal approach and inguinal approach, microsurgery, laparoscopic surgery, and embolization.
