Question

I've been diagnosed with a grade 2 varicocele on the left side of my scrotum should I be rushing to get surgery or is it okay to wait? I'm really into gym workouts and sports does having a varicocele mean I have to stop those activities completely? Also, is there any link between varicocele and frequent masturbation could it make the condition worse? If surgery is needed, which option is better laparoscopy or embolization?

With Varicocele Grade 2, you can still go to the gym, but take precautions to avoid exacerbating the condition: avoid heavy lifting, bending, or straining, wear supportive underwear or a jockstrap, and take regular breaks to rest and elevate your scrotum; however, consult your doctor or a urologist before starting
