I had grade 3 varicocele surgery 2 weeks ago and I'm 25 years old - will this cause any issues after marriage like fertility problems or discomfort during intercourse?

Varicocele surgery (varicocelectomy) is generally not expected to cause long-term issues related to sexual function or infertility after marriage. While there's a small risk of complications like testicular atrophy or infection, these are less common than the benefits. The surgery primarily aims to improve sperm quality and increase fertility, and many men experience improvements in both. Discomfort or pain during intercourse is not a typical side effect of varicocele surgery

I've noticed a red thin worm, kind of like a thread, when I pee at night. It's freaking me out a bit, and I'm itching with pretty frequent discharges. Plus, I have diabetes, so I'm worried if it's related. What should I do?

Question

I've been dealing with this tingling sensation and burning at the tip of my penis when I pee for almost a year now. I saw a doctor before, and they put me on antidepressants, which seemed to help, but whenever I stop taking them, the symptoms come back. I've also noticed some pain at the base of my penis. What's going on here? Is there something else I should be looking into?
