I have a varicocele measuring 2.5 mm on the right side and 3.2 mm on the left side. Can you suggest any effective allopathic or ayurvedic medicines for this? Is it possible to treat without surgery?

Varicocele can often be managed conservatively; both allopathic and Ayurvedic options may help relieve symptoms, but surgery may be needed if there's infertility or severe discomfort.

My foreskin covers the glans a bit and I can't fully retract it when I'm erect. Is this something that might need surgery or can it be managed another way?

If your foreskin only covers the glans slightly and you can't retract it fully, it might not need surgery. You could try gentle stretching exercises, or a urologist may recommend steroid creams. Surgery (circumcision) is a last resort if the condition causes pain or recurrent infections.
