Surgical swelling: The varicocele repair is associated with soft tissue swelling that may make your penis appear smaller. Do not despair. Once the swelling goes down, everything will be back to normal within a couple of weeks.

Here are some ...: After both procedures, you expect to experience some degree of scrotal swelling of various severity and duration. Most times, the condition after both surgeries evolves and resolves well in 2-3 weeks, but at times, such postoperative swelling may last and linger for months. So, see your surgeon if the expected pain and swelling have not progressively resolved in 1-2 weeks.
