How can you prevent a varicocele from getting worse? would wearing scrotal support help?

Common ways of treating varicocele include pain medicine such as ibuprofen if the varicocele causes discomfort. You may also try wearing tighter underwear such as a jock straps to better support the scrotum. The primary definitive treatment of varicoceles is surgery.

Yes it can. Size of varicocele depends on the degree of the backflow in the testicular vein
