I've been diagnosed with grade 4 varicocele and have had pain in my lower abdomen and right testicle for about a month now. Are there any treatment options that don't involve surgery? The discomfort is really bothering me and I'm worried about what this means long-term

Yes, there are non-surgical treatments available for a grade 4 varicocele that can help manage the pain and discomfort you're experiencing. These options include pain relief medications and procedures like embolization or sclerotherapy. It's important to discuss all treatment options with your doctor to determine the best approach for your specific situation

I've had this small pea-sized lump under my bottom left testicle since I was 15, and now I'm 25. It hasn't really grown, but recently, I've been getting this dull pain in that area. It's not constant but noticeable, especially last night when this sharp dull pain woke me up. I've experienced a bit of that dull pain today too. Could this be something serious, or should I be concerned?
