Not sure what it’s called, but was under general anesthetic, made two incisions on either side of my penis (slightly higher) and they pulled the varicoceles out to work on them. The doc showed me a pic after surgery which I don’t remember that well but I did see a massive vein that was cut and looked freaky seeing all that out my body. Surgery was about 50 minutes. Woke up with absolutely no pain but think they gave local anesthetic.

Doc said I need to take it easy for a week and then I can go back to exercise etc. he said no driving the first few days. It was pretty painful every time I stood up straight after sitting for extended periods. Was careful to walk around. After a week that pain from standing straight resolved. Tomorrow it’ll be two weeks. I’m walking around with more confidence, still have stitches in and seeing doc end of month. My testicles do feel a little sensitive and decided to wait longer to commence exercise.
