Suggest Non Surgical Remedy For Treatment Of Varicocele

Hi I think I have varicocele but i feel it more on my right side which apparently is not as common. in researching the web though i'm pretty sure it is varicocele....i definitely feel the 'sack of worms" above my testes especially on the right, of course those veins are there anyway right? anyway i do have discomfort and i am very much hoping there is a non-surgical, natural solution. help with any advise/solutions. thank you.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
First of all get the proper diagnosis by getting ultrasonography and color doppler examination.
Remember the first step of any treatment is the diagnosis. Unless you have a perfect diagnosis , taking any medicines or therapy is just waste and worst of all you are increasing your problems.
Well for grade 1 and 2 caricocele no treatment is required except for scrotal support, avoid exposure to cold, avoid coughing , constipation and strenuous exercises which increase intra-abdominal pressure. Semen analysis for sperm quantity and quality is a must to determine whether you need surgery or medical management ( there is no perfect one).

Only grade 3 with pain and / reduced sperm count needs surgery.
So go for the perfect diagnosis as a first step.
