Yes, there are non-surgical ways to treat varicoceles, especially if the condition is not causing significant pain or fertility issues. Varicocele embolization, a minimally invasive procedure, is a common alternative to surgery. Lifestyle changes, pain management, and monitoring can also be effective options.

Varicocele typically doesn't resolve on its own and may even worsen over time. Surgery is often the most effective treatment, though some lifestyle adjustments or exercises may help alleviate symptoms. Frequent masturbation does not directly cause varicocele, but can lead to temporary discomfort or pain.
