Varicocele Repair for Infertility
What To Expect After Surgery
Varicocele repair typically is done on an outpatient basis. You can expect to go home within 4 hours of a routine varicocele surgery. Pain medicine is prescribed for a few days after surgery.
You should be able to resume light work duties 1 to 2 days after surgery and full strenuous activities within 1 week.
