I've been struggling for quite a while now. I did prone masturbation for about 10 years, and I've noticed some uncomfortable changes. My penis now seems damaged. It's bent to the left, the base feels unusually smooth, it's quite small, and my erections only last a few seconds at most. I stopped the prone masturbation two years ago, hoping things would get better, but it feels like the problem is just getting worse. I'm really worried and wondering what can be done to improve my situation. Could you please offer some guidance?

Can varicocele grade 1 be fully treated without surgery? I've heard about homeopathy but not sure if it actually works for this condition. Are there other non-surgical options that might help?

Yes, grade 1 varicocele, which is the mildest form, can often be managed without surgery, especially if there are no significant symptoms or fertility concerns. Non-surgical options like lifestyle changes, certain supplements, and embolization can be effective alternatives. While homeopathy is often considered an alternative medicine, there is no scientific evidence to support its effectiveness in treating varicocele

I recently got a Doppler scrotal scan that showed grade 1 varicocele without reflux on color Doppler. The report says it might need surgery and could progress to grade 2 later. I'm worried about how this could affect my fertility does this mean I might have trouble having kids in the future? Should I consider surgery now or wait? Also, could this impact my decision to get married or stay single?

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.
