there's no guaranteed cure for varicocele without surgery, several non-surgical treatments and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms and improve your condition. These include scrotal support, ice packs, and pain medication. In some cases, embolization (a minimally invasive procedure) may be an option instead of surgery

The bulge on your penis after shaking it, which resolves on its own within 8 hours, might be due to a condition called Peyronie's disease or trauma-induced swelling; apply ice packs, avoid vigorous shaking, and consult a urologist for proper evaluation and guidance to prevent potential long-term damag
