For a bilateral grade 1 varicocele causing pain and discomfort, especially when the left testicle lies down, microscopic inguinal or subinguinal varicocelectomy is generally considered the best option. This procedure minimizes the risk of complications, reduces pain, and offers a faster recovery time compared to other approaches

Can homeopathy really treat a grade 3 varicocele without surgery? How long does it usually take to see full recovery, and is it a permanent fix or just temporary relief? I'm worried about whether this will actually work long-term.

Homeopathy may help with symptoms, but evidence for treating grade 3 varicocele is limited. Surgery is usually more effective for long-term results.
