Hello, I 23M have had varicocele in both testicles, grade 4 on the left and grade 1 or 2 on the right but I didn't feel any pain. I have had surgery on the left one, which reduced it to grade 2, and then I had microsurgery (I'm not sure they call it like that) on both testicles. The post surgery report was very good and the test results showed good improvement.

Two years later, I noticed that the problem had returned in my left testicle no pain again but I started to feel something and it was way bigger then the right testicle, so I went to the doctor. He asked me to have a semen analysis, and go to a Radiologist and I found that the percentage of normal-shaped sperm had dropped to 12%, whereas it had been 21% after the surgery. I feel anxious and scared, especially since I've started exercising at the gym. I'm afraid the exercise might make things worse. I've also started to feel something in my right testicle too, and I don't know if I'm imagining it or not, because the radiologist didn't mention it, he told me that there is a grade 3 varicocele in the left one only.

And I also have an excessive porn addiction which I'm trying to quit, and I have read that it doesn't effect it but I have also heard that if you edge it might cause Varicocel.

Should I stay in the gym or quit?

And what if I delay the surgery until I consider having kids?

I am worried, especially since I have had two surgeries and I am still young.

I always use deodorant after showering and I don't notice any odor all day, but I've noticed that when I changed the type of deodorant after 3 or 4 hours of showering and using the deodorant, I notice an odor in my armpits!

So one day I decided to shower without using deodorant and I didn't smell anything until the end of the day, and I was surprised.
