I'm planning to start a family, but I've been struggling with getting a proper erection lately. I've never had problems before, and my sex life used to be good. This has been happening for the past few months. I don't have any medical issues or take any medication, so I'm a bit worried and could really use some advice on what might be going on.

I'm 26 and still a bachelor and a virgin. I've been worried because I've got this habit of masturbation, and I'm curious if it might affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. Could this be a problem for me later on?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy activity that does not cause infertility or affect your ability to have children in the future. If you have concerns about fertility, focus on a healthy lifestyle and consult a doctor for reassurance or further guidance.

I recently got a Doppler scrotal scan that showed grade 1 varicocele without reflux on color Doppler. The report says it might need surgery and could progress to grade 2 later. I'm worried about how this could affect my fertility does this mean I might have trouble having kids in the future? Should I consider surgery now or wait? Also, could this impact my decision to get married or stay single?

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.
