I found out I have a grade III varicocele in my right testicle after a Doppler scan was done because I had some pain there a few months back. The doctor mentioned I might need surgery. I'm feeling a bit worried about not treating it. Can there be any side effects if I leave it as is? Would not having the surgery impact anything long-term?

I drink plenty of water and watch my diet but still keep getting kidney stones - this is my third surgery to remove them why do they keep forming even when I'm careful what causes these stones to develop repeatedly
Even with good hydration and dietary choices, recurring kidney stones can be due to various factors including underlying medical conditions, genetic predisposition, or certain medications.
