Questions.

Hey everyone, I am a 25 year old male volunteering in the Philippines. I was recently diagnosed with bilateral varicocele Phase 1 (R up to 3.2mm L up to 4.5mm). And basically, I am kind of freaking out. The Dr. didn't tell me much besides what it is, it can cause sterility, and I will have to deal with the "aching" when I work out and such... So some of my questions are: Is the aching normal when I work out or when it is excessively hot outside? If so do you all have any "tricks" to deal with it? Is my case (the size in mm) considered bad? I.E. higher than your numbers? If so will that make me more prone to sterility? Have people had the treatment? How did it work for you all? What is the price etc? What is my next step, sperm analysis? and then see my numbers and go from there? Is it good this was caught at a relatively early age?
