Im 23 with a varicocele in my latest scrotal u/s it measures 2.3 mm at rest, 3.2 mm with valsalva i wanna know if i can do heavy weight lifting?

If you want you can: Unlike hernia , heavy work will not harm you in varicocele , Wear a good supportive underwear like 'Jack Straps' If it bothers you get it fixed (surgery ) a simple out patient surgery.
