I've been diagnosed with varicocele in my left testicle and really want to avoid surgery. Are there any medicines or natural treatments that can help cure it? What options do I have to get back to normal without going under the knife?

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

I'm really worried because I've been diagnosed with a varicocele grade 3, and my right and left testis seem to be normal. According to the doctor, the veins are dilated and measure 3 mm at rest. My semen analysis shows sperm motility is only 18, while it should be 50 or more. The doctor mentioned that my infertility might be due to this varicocele issue. Could this really be affecting my fertility, and what are my options?
With a Grade 3 Varicocele diagnosis, characterized by dilated veins measuring 3mm at rest, and low sperm motility of 18%, your doctor's assessment that the varicocele is likely contributing to your infertility is reasonable; consider consulting a urologist or andrologist to discuss surgical options, such as varicocelectomy, to repair the varicocele and potentially improve sperm motility and overall fertility.

I've been having this issue for a couple of months now where my penis has lost its sensitivity, and I am not feeling any pleasure from things that used to excite me visually or in real life. Although I can still get an erection when I masturbate, it's like I can't get a strong erection at any other time, sometimes only semi-hard. I started noticing this after doing some jelqing exercises, when suddenly everything felt off, so I stopped. There's this vein under my penis that's turned reddish, too. I usually masturbate only every 7 to 10 days. I'm unmarried and unemployed, and I'm really worried about this. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how I can get back to how things were before?
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing. It sounds like you may be dealing with some nerve sensitivity issues or vascular changes, possibly triggered by excessive or improper exercise. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional, such as a urologist, who can conduct a thorough evaluation and guide you on appropriate treatments or lifestyle adjustments to restore normal function.
