Hi everyone,

I'm 36M, just had bilateral microsurgical varicocelectomy yesterday. My pre-surgery results were:

- Sperm concentration: 16M/ml

- Motility: 40% (progressive A: 0%, B: 15%)

- Morphology: 2%

- Testosterone: 7.85 (low)

- Grade 2 left + Grade 1 right varicocele

My concerns post-surgery:

- I had no issues with erections before surgery, but since the procedure I have zero erections — is this normal and how long until it returns?

I'm on a supplement stack (Omega-3 + CoQ10, L-Carnitine, Vitamin E + Selenium, Curcumin, KSM-66 Ashwagandha, ZMA) — anyone have experience with these helping post-varicocelectomy recovery?

Is ice pack application helpful post-surgery for swelling and recovery?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who went through something similar. How long did it take you to see improvements?
