I've had a grade 3 varicocele on my left side for about a year now. Do I really need surgery for this or can I just live with it? I'm not married yet what could happen if I leave it untreated? Is this something that could become life-threatening?

A Grade 3 varicocele can be a concern, and while it's not immediately life-threatening, it can potentially affect your fertility if left untreated. While you don't need to rush into surgery right away, a consultation with a doctor is recommended to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

View allI'm 17 and uncircumcised but can pull back my foreskin fine do I still need surgery to remove it
If you're 17 and can easily retract your foreskin, you likely do not need surgery. Circumcision is generally not necessary if the foreskin can be fully retracted, and you're not experiencing pain, swelling, or other issues
