Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Depends on operation: Ok to masturbate if varicocele was corrected laparoscopically or thru an abdominal incision if u feel ur up to it ; not in too much discomfort. However would hold off for a couple of weeks if surgery was performed through groin or scrotum (micro-surgically).
