I'm dealing with a grade 2 varicocele and I'm really into my gym workouts. Is it okay for me to continue going to the gym? Also, are there any specific things I need to watch out for or avoid while exercising? On top of that, are there any medications or treatments I should consider to help reverse or manage this?

With Varicocele Grade 2, you can still go to the gym, but take precautions to avoid exacerbating the condition: avoid heavy lifting, bending, or straining, wear supportive underwear or a jockstrap, and take regular breaks to rest and elevate your scrotum; however, consult your doctor or a urologist before starting or continuing exercise, as they may recommend specific exercises or restrictions based on your individual condition; regarding medications, Varicocele often requires surgical treatment, but pain relief medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be prescribed to manage discomfort, and hormone-regulating medications like clomiphene may be considered in some cases, but only under medical supervision.

I've been experiencing a burning sensation in a vein in the area between my thighs, I think it's called the perineum. It started when I walked, and I thought it was because of my pubic hair, so I trimmed them. But then I noticed a thick line from my anus to scrotum, maybe a nerve, that burns whenever it's touched. Now it's really tough for me to walk. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
