Varicocele surgery (varicocelectomy) is generally not expected to cause long-term issues related to sexual function or infertility after marriage. While there's a small risk of complications like testicular atrophy or infection, these are less common than the benefits. The surgery primarily aims to improve sperm quality and increase fertility, and many men experience improvements in both. Discomfort or pain during intercourse is not a typical side effect of varicocele surgery

I'm 17 years old and my penis is 4.7 inches when erect. I know this is considered an average and sufficient size, but I really want to increase it for my own satisfaction. Is there any chance it might grow as I get older?

Can spermatocele be treated effectively with Ayurvedic medicines or is surgery the only option to get rid of the cyst

Most spermatoceles remain small in size and cause few or no symptoms. You don't need treatment if a spermatocele doesn't cause pain or discomfort. If you have long-term pain or discomfort, a provider may recommend surgery to get rid of a spermatocele
