A member asked:
Will going to the gym(weight lifting and treadmill running) worsen my left side varicocele? or is it better to wait until i get it corrected by surgery to start weight lifting?

No it will not worsen your varicocele. I suggest you wear a good scrotal support

If you wear good squirrel looks support like a jockstrap or other device that keeps that area in place tightly then you should have no problem.
