Yes, in some cases, plastic surgery, particularly nerve grafting, can help repair damaged nerves in the penis if they haven't healed on their own, and can potentially restore erectile function. However, nerve damage may be irreversible in some instances, and the success of surgical repair depends on the extent and cause of the damage.

I've been diagnosed with varicocele in my left testicle and really want to avoid surgery. Are there any medicines or natural treatments that can help cure it? What options do I have to get back to normal without going under the knife?

there's no guaranteed cure for varicocele without surgery, several non-surgical treatments and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms and improve your condition. These include scrotal support, ice packs, and pain medication. In some cases, embolization (a minimally invasive procedure) may be an option instead of surgery
