I've been diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele and I'm really confused about treatment options surgery, ayurvedic, or homeopathic. Which one actually works best? I'm pretty scared because I don't know if this condition is dangerous or what to expect

Surgery is most effective for grade 3 varicocele; ayurveda/homeopathy may relieve mild symptoms but not curative.

I have a grade 3 varicocele but was told surgery isn't needed since my semen is fine. My testosterone is low though, and I've noticed swelling in my chest plus something hard in my left testicle. Getting married soon am I physically fit for married life? How's my erection and libido for sex? Could there be any issues like cancer in my testicles? I'm in Bengaluru and would like to consult one doctor for all these concerns.
