I'm dealing with a varicocele and I'm wondering if I can still go to the gym and continue working out. Could you let me know what to expect with exercises and whether they could affect my condition?

Not all varicoceles require surgery. Surgery has the potential to cause testicular damage.....

However, the primary treatment of varicoceles is surgery and indications include:

Pain....infertility ...To prevent testicular atrophy..... All methods involve ligation of veins to prevent abnormal blood flow. The recurrence rate is usually less than 10%.... Consult urologist......

I'm really worried about something that happened recently. My friend accidentally hit me really hard in the testicles, and it hurt a lot. Do you think this could affect my sperm count? If so, how much? I'm not sure what to do next and could really use some guidance.

Any temprorary injury has less chances to have effect on sperm count. If you have any swelling or severe pain or redness kindly consult Doctor.

How can I tell if my phimosis is congenital or developed as an adult also does having phimosis mean I'm impotent and can congenital phimosis be treated with betamethasone cream instead of surgery

Phimosis, whether congenital (present at birth) or acquired (developing later in life), does not automatically mean you are impotent. Congenital phimosis can sometimes be treated with topical corticosteroids like betamethasone cream, but surgery may still be necessary.
