I have a grade 1 varicocele on the left side and I'm a bit worried. What are the best remedies for this? Are there any Ayurvedic medicines that can help or is surgery the only option? Also, does doing yoga make any difference in managing this condition?

For a Grade 1 varicocele, surgery is generally not the first line of treatment, but it is the most effective long-term option if symptoms worsen. While surgery is often considered the definitive treatment, there are various other approaches that can help manage the condition, including Ayurvedic medicines and yoga, along with lifestyle modifications.

The base is very smooth, there's a bend to the left, and I can't maintain an erection for more than a few seconds. It's been really affecting me mentally. What can I do to address this problem?

-It's understandable that you're feeling distressed by this issue. The changes in your penis, like smoothness, bending, and short-lasting erections, could be related to long-term habits. I recommend consulting a urologist who can assess your condition and
