A member asked:

May i know the home treatment after the varicocelectomy surgery. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scrotal support: I assume you mean post-op instructions. That would include scrotal support, pain medication/NSAIDs as needed, and gradually resuming activities as tolerated. May usually shower the day after surgery. Expect some "swelling" of your testicle for up to several weeks......
