Are there any non-surgical treatments for bilateral grade 2 varicocele besides embolization? I'm wondering if just meds, exercises, or even changing my mattress could help improve it without surgery. Also, does varicocele affect penis size?

I'm 26 and still a bachelor and a virgin. I've been worried because I've got this habit of masturbation, and I'm curious if it might affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. Could this be a problem for me later on?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy activity that does not cause infertility or affect your ability to have children in the future. If you have concerns about fertility, focus on a healthy lifestyle and consult a doctor for reassurance or further guidance.
