I'm 26 and dealing with pain in my left testicle turns out I have grade 1 varicocele after getting a USG. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? The pain gets worse when I have strong sexual urges, stand too long, pass stool, or lift heavy stuff. I just want to get back to my normal pain-free life and start working out again

Yes, there are non-surgical treatments for a grade 1 varicocele that can help manage pain and improve your quality of life. While surgery is the most effective long-term solution, it's not always necessary for mild cases like yours. You can try lifestyle changes and over-the-counter pain relief to manage your symptoms
