A member asked:

Can smoking weed after a varicocele embolization affect the healing process?

Not a lot of data: I would expect that it wouldn't be a problem, but there isn't a lot of good data on marijuana's effect on wound healing.

Here are some ...: Varicocele embolization is just to occlude spermatic vein at its last part before draining into left renal vein on left and inferior vena cava on right so to eliminate the pressure from the whole volume of spermatic vein; the final effect is not much to do with healing process which requires a good circulation to resolve the inflammation of surgical site. So, I would not worry about your concern.
