Peter, haven’t had surgery but have had varicocele for like 40 yrs. It does act up every now and then with brief pain but it goes away quickly.
If I am not mistaken they can sclerose the venous jumble with an injection similar to varicose veins in the leg…. check into it

Thanks, Phil. An injection doesn't sound so bad.

Just a follow-up question, please.

Given the testicular varicocele & associated discomfort, did it take anyone longer than the expected 2 weeks to recover from AUS surgery?
I'm still in pain 3 weeks on & now wondering if the veins were shoved around a bit during surgery & that's why I'm experiencing pain for longer than "normal".
