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

I'm worried about something that happened recently. There was just a tiny bit of precum on my finger, and I wiped it off quickly with a cloth. After a few minutes, I touched my girlfriend's vagina. I can't remember if I actually inserted my finger or not, but I'm pretty sure I didn't. Is there any chance she could become pregnant from this? We're both virgins, there was no penetration, and I didn't ejaculate. This happened on Tuesday, the 11th of September 2018, and her last period started on the 25th of August. Her cycle usually lasts 28 days. Can you please give me some advice? I'm really concerned.
