I'm a 28-year-old male with phimosis, and while it hasn't caused me any major issues so far, I'm a bit worried because it seems unusual to still have this at my age. Is there any way to treat phimosis without surgery? It's kind of embarrassing, and I'm not sure if this is normal for someone my age.

Topical steroid creams and stretching exercises may help phimosis. It's not uncommon in adults and treatable without surgery in many cases.

I've been taking steroids as a professional bodybuilder, but lately I noticed some changes in my left testicle it feels like there are extra veins or something. I looked it up and think it might be testicular varicocele, but I'm not sure. Could the steroids be causing this? Doctors always warn against steroids, but it's part of my job, so I can't stop. I know the risks, but this issue has me worried. Does varicocele need surgery, or can it heal on its own?
Get an Ultrasound and Doppler study of scrotum. Steroid has nothing to do with varicocele but it is possible due to heavy weight lifting. Please clarify what steroid you are taking. If corticosteroid like dexona, betnesol stop it gradually over many months. If testosterone or other anabolic steroid you can maintain these provided considering risk of infertility.
