I noticed my left spermatic cord seems longer than the right one but there's no pain. Is this something abnormal that might need surgery or is it normal to have a slight difference?

I'm a bit worried about the mild varicocele diagnosis I got for my left testicle. The doctors mentioned they can't do much. I used to enjoy working out at the gym, but now, any kind of exercise seems to bring back the pain in my abdomen and testicle. I'm curious if going to the gym could have caused this varicocele? I generally stayed away from heavy lifting and mostly focused on weight-bearing and abs workouts. Is there anything I can do to manage this or any advice on what exercises are safe?

Varicocele is usually caused by the enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, often referred to as the "pampiniform plexus." While heavy lifting exercises can potentially exacerbate varicocele, any form of physical activity that increases intra-abdominal pressure, such as weight-bearing and abs workouts, can also contribute to the development or worsening of varicocele. It is advisable to avoid activities that strain the abdominal muscles and increase pressure in the scrotum. To alleviate symptoms and reduce discomfort, you can consider wearing a scrotal support or compression underwear during physical activities. Additionally, you may benefit from taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen to manage any discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
