I'm concerned because when my penis becomes erect, it bends downward, and it's about 5 inches in size. I'm really curious if there's a way to make it straighter and maybe even increase the size. Can you help with this?

It's common for the penis to have a slight bend during an erection, and this often doesn't require treatment unless it causes discomfort or affects sexual function. If you're concerned about the bend or size, consider consulting a urologist to rule out any underlying conditions like Peyronie's disease and explore safe options for treatment. As for size, non-surgical methods are limited, and a healthcare professional can guide you on realistic expectations and options.

Can a grade 3 varicocele on the right side measuring 3.1 mm and left side at 4.1 mm be treated without surgery? Also have an epididymal cyst should I be worried about that too?

A Grade 3 varicocele (as described with your measurements) usually requires surgical treatment, but non-surgical options like embolization may be considered. An epididymal cyst is generally not a cause for concern and often resolves on its own
