I've been dealing with left varicocele since 2011 but the pain and discomfort in my scrotum has gotten really bad over the last 6 months. The constant ache is affecting me mentally too - should I consider surgery at this point or are there other options?

3 of the top sprays for premature ejaculation

Sprays that contain a numbing agent such as benzocaine, lidocaine or prilocaine are sometimes used to treat premature ejaculation. They're applied to the penis 10 to 15 minutes before sex to reduce sensation and help delay ejaculation.

I'm a bit worried about my left testicle because it hangs much lower than the right one and there's a burning sensation. I've read about bell clapper deformity and how it might lead to testicular torsion. Also, I've been diagnosed with bilateral grade 1 varicocele. I'm wondering if I might need surgery for this or if it can be managed with medicine. Could you help clarify this for me?

i have varicocele in my left testicle and want to know if there are any medicines that can treat it without needing surgery

There are no medications that directly treat varicoceles themselves. However, some medications can help manage pain and discomfort associated with the condition. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can provide relief. Additionally, lifestyle changes, such as wearing supportive underwear,can help with pain management
