Does anyone else experience this?

Hi guys I have a confirmed double varicocele (one on both sides) that flares up fairly often and is extremely painful. I will not be able to seek treatment for it for quite some time, but hope to get embolisation surgery in the autumn. It seems to get worse the more often I have an erection. For example, if I am hard at the start of the day there might be no pain, but if I get hard several times without orgasm/ejaculation, it becomes extremely tender and sore. I have considered daily masturbation to try and alleviate the pressure and pain, but I’m not sure if it’s the right way to handle it.

Does anyone else experience this?
