Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Varicocele is a state of varicosity of the cremasteric & occasionally the testicular veins.
Please read this definition carefully as this is an important factor in your future treatment .
Surgery is the only option for varicocele.
In FEW patients sperm count falls due to varicocele , if that is the condition in your case then you have to get surgery before your marriage .
As pain is there you may take pain killer .
Get in regular sperm ( semen ) count and if sperm count is normal and not falling than you can wait for surgery as you like.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.

Dr. HET
