Keep it up: Best thing to do is to ask the doctor who did the Procedure. In the meantime, put a towel across your thighs so your scrotum is elevated. That will make the swelling go away faster.

Do nothing...: At this stage of postoperative resolution, 11 days after vasectomy, time and patience are the surest and most logical way of care; in other words, no care is the best care as long as getting better and becoming smaller slowly but surely day by day, week by week, or month by month. Occasionally, a residual node may persist forever. So, leave it alone. More? Ask the surgeon.

I got a small varicocele after a vasectomy. After 10 years, strenuous exercise now triggers mild pain. I can almost keep living with it, and I am concerned that I could get more varicoceles. How many veins can be ligated before my scrotum atrophies?

I have fungi on my scrotum so i scrub my scrotum a lot and hard, can I get vasectomy if i scrub my scortum hard?

There is no: Need to repeatedly scrub your scrotum that hard. It has nothing to do with a vasectomy.

Few days: Usually resolves in a week or less. See your doctor if it seems to persist for a lot longer or if associated with a lot of swelling.
