Will my penis get big again?

I have been diagnosed with varicosele, which is a varicose vein located in my testicles. i had pain down there for 1 year, but it was minor. in the last 3 months it got extremely bad, im to the point where it sometimes hurt just to walk down the road. so i went to the hospital to see whats wrong. First, they tell me that it looks to be testicle cancer, so they sent me to a cancer specialist. once there, the doc gave me an exam, then looked at my ultrasound results. He said that it is "just" a vericose vein. So im going to go get if fixed soon. other than the pain, i have noticed much shrinkage down there. not just my testicles tho. my penis used to be 5 inches soft, now it is merely 1 inch. I've done a little research and found no results on if this is a symptom. Can varicosele cause shrinkage of the flaccid penis? If so, will it return to normal once i get this fixed?

Whenever the length of penis is considered, it is always measured when penis is erect. Flaccid. It is likely that a small flaccid penis may be much longer than a long flaccid penis.
For a normal intercourse 2 indh erect penis is sufficient as erotic depth of vagina is only 2 inch deep.
Take apprpriate treatment for vericose vein. ( no spell check is done)

I had the same problem and just had an Vericocele Embolization. It's helped the pain but the size of your penis is more of a testoterone and growth hormone level. Have you had these checked? Sometimes with vericoceles your testosterone level is low which is caused by low growth hormone level. Google how to naturally increase GH levels and this should help with the penis size. Hope this helps. Hang in there it can be fixed!
