How long does it take for a varicocele to disappear after an embolization?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several weeks: The size of the varicocele (enlargement of the veins) will decrease in several weeks. Embolization can be used if surgical approaches are contra-indicated as success rates with surgery are higher.

Never ...: Never disappear but just collapse and shrink to obliteration if done successfully.
