I have grade 3 varicocele and my left testicle looks much bigger with a dull ache if I get surgery, will it go back to its normal shape? I really want it to look normal again

Yes, in many cases, surgery (varicocelectomy) can help reduce the swelling and size of the affected testicle and alleviate the dull ache associated with a grade 3 varicocele. While some slight changes in appearance may persist, surgery often leads to a significant improvement in testicular size and reduction of pain

Question

my foreskin won't pull back properly because of phimosis are there any treatments that don't involve surgery? i'm worried and want to know my options

I've been noticing that some of the nerves on my penis have been swollen over the past couple of weeks. They feel kind of hard, almost like there's a blockage. Normally, it doesn't hurt, but I do feel pain when I press on them or during any sexual activity. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it considered normal?

Question

I'm a bit confused and worried about having an uncircumcised penis. Is there anything I should be considering if I want to get circumcised, or is there any issue with remaining uncircumcised? I've included a photo that resembles mine. Could you provide some advice?
