How soon after a varicocele embolization will the veins disappear completely?

How soon after a varicocele embolization will the veins disappear completely?

(background information)
Two weeks ago I had the procedure done on bilateral varicoceles. the radiologist said it was completely successful. I am confident that the procedure was successful because to my amazement, since the procedure was done both my testicles experienced roughly a 10% increase in size. prior to the procedure I had a grade2-3 varicocele on the left side and a grade2 varicocele on the right side. My testis now also feel very cool where as before they felt very warm in comparison to the rest of my body. Both testicles feel much more smooth and solid whereas before the procedure they felt somewhat spongy particularly the left testis. The feel and look of my ejaculate has also changed, its much whiter and thicker, and appears to have more volume. My left testicle is about 1/8th smaller than my right testicle, the urologist told me that its normal for one testicle to be as much as 10% larger that the other one, and that catch up growth was very common after a successful correction in adolescents and young adults.  Now two weeks after the procedure most of the veins have reduced greatly in size but I continue to have a tangled varicose vein under my left testicle inside my scrotum and it is causing some mild discomfort. how soon can I expect these veins to disappear completely?
