A member asked:
It's been three months since my vericocele embolization, the veins are still pretty prominent. i heard it gets better over time but how much time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The procedure stops blood flow in the vein. Usually the vein will decompress and be less apparent (over several months) but it does not remove the vein.
