The recovery time following varicocele surgery primarily depends on the treatment method employed. With minimally invasive surgery, recovery typically takes about 15 days; if hysteroscopic surgery is performed, recovery generally requires approximately 30 days. However, as individual patients’ physical conditions vary, recovery times may differ accordingly. Patients with poorer physical health may require a longer recovery period.
