I had a varicocelectomy on May 1st, 2013. I think everything went well, however my doctor didn't tell me anything about the recovery. First of all, the cut seems to be fine, and the swelling has gone down significantly. However, there is a bulge I've never felt before right next to the base of my penis, on the left side, that is very painful to touch. Whats that, and is it normal?

Also, im a lifeguard and i also run and lift often. So how long should i wait until i swim, run, and lift again?

Lastly, how long should i wait until i masterbait or have sex again? Also, if masterbation should be refrained from, what would happen if i were to have a wet dream?
