I've had a dull pain in my left testis for quite a while now. My USG scrotum showed a Grade III varicocele I've attached the report. What non-surgical treatments would you recommend for this? I'm a bit worried about the long-term effects if left untreated.

For a Grade III varicocele causing pain, initial non-surgical treatments focus on managing pain and discomfort. These include over-the-counter pain relievers, scrotal support with jock straps or snug underwear, and ice packs to reduce swelling. While these may offer temporary relief, Grade III varicoceles are often more severe and may require further intervention if pain persists or fertility is a concern

I had sex last night and now my glans are exposed, and the skin isn't retracting. Is that normal? It feels uncomfortable rubbing against my clothes since it's such a sensitive area. What should I do?

I have grade 4 varicocele and azoospermia with zero sperm count could the varicocele be causing this? IVF clinics are recommending TESA since I'm trying for a child, but I'm unsure whether to go for varicocele surgery first or proceed directly with TESA to improve my chances of having sperm

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
