Hi Anons, I need some advice.
Iv'e just had a Varicocele Embolization carried out yesterday. The operation was painless and I'm now in recovery.
My Question is to anyone who has had this procedure. How long does it take for the unsightly bag of worms swelling to go down? its the day after and I don't see any change. Is it days, weeks, months?

...post pics.
I've never seen the swelling before.
OH, also, add timestamp. Since this is 4chin and all.

I can't post a pic, there's many on google images for you to look at.
I'm not making it up.
I just want to hear from some one that had had the same procedure.
For me, it took about a week to disappear. Then after few weeks that shit came back.

Oh shit. Thanks anyway. Sorry to hear it didn't work out.
I've taken a week off work to relax. I'm hoping to see improvements by the end of the week.
I forgot to ask the doctor how long it may last for. I assumed it would go the very next day.

its called a Varicocele.
Its like a varicose view in the side of your scrotum. See the picture.
Its a vein that gets filled with blood, looks like a bag of worms and causes mild to sever discomfort.
yesterday I had a procedure to block off the vein and hopefully clear it up.

varicose vein* not view

Average is 1-2 weeks but its anywhere between now to a month.
Watch it though cause its not an exact science and the doctor could have gotten the wrong vein, as thats just the nature of the beast outside major surgery, which means a second go.

Np. Had the same issue and me picking up a workout routine, which subsequently lasted very little time, made me realize I shouldn't feel like i was just kicked in the sack afterwards for an hour.
Turn out theres like 7 veins that could cause the issue and they can narrow it down to 2 and determine which is the most likely. Outside cutting your shit up and taking a look they can't be 100% but a second go through is guaranteed.

Yeah, similar situation here. Every day after work I would come home and hold an ice pack on my balls.
I figured this is no way to live and requested the embolisation.
fingers-crossed.
