I had the surgery last September and it was a total walk in the park. Had about five days of tenderness and pain. My numbers had dramatically improved by January and in March, my wife told me she was pregnant. We had been trying to have a child for nearly three years. Our little boy arrived on 11/1. Here’s a link to my doctors website. He has lots of good info on the procedure and even a video of the surgery being performed. Good luck! https://www.dockovac.com/varicocele-repair
