I found out I have a grade III varicocele in my right testicle after a Doppler scan was done because I had some pain there a few months back. The doctor mentioned I might need surgery. I'm feeling a bit worried about not treating it. Can there be any side effects if I leave it as is? Would not having the surgery impact anything long-term?

My foreskin is too tight to pull back and the doctor said it might be phimosis. Will using a cream help or is surgery the only option?
