I've had varicocele for about a year now and it's really affecting my daily life - can't sit comfortably or ride without pain kicking in sometimes. Is there any way to manage this or get rid of it without needing surgery? What would you suggest for relief?

my urologist recommended surgery for phimosis but I'm not sure if it's the best option or if there are any side effects I should be worried about

It's understandable to have concerns about surgical options for phimosis, especially when you're unsure about the best course of action or potential side effects. Surgery for phimosis, often circumcision, is generally recommended when non-surgical treatments like steroid creams or manual stretching haven't been successful, or if the phimosis is causing significant problems like recurring infections or pain. Potential side effects of circumcision include infection, bleeding, and scarring, but these are usually manageable
