So I recently developed a medical condition that my left testicle swells and hurts when I lift too much weight. It's called a varicocele.
I currently follow stronglifts 5x5 with some accessory exercise on off days. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week on average.
Currently I'm only doing 50-75% of my usual weight and i occasionally the pain returns. I'm trying to figure out a good way of lifting with my varicocele. If I don't go to the gym I'll probably just rope myself.
I'm trying to think of a good way to continue exercising without causing my testicle to swell to 3x the size. I'm thinking of doing less weight with more reps but not sure where up go.
Maybe I'll consider going less? The pandemic really fricked my up progress so I'm not willing to lose not.

Unless you’re like 14 years old unironically keep yourself safe. Anyone over the age of 16 who hasn’t hit 3/4/5/6 needs to either rope or transition.

I'm a brainlet so simple routine worked for me. I had a personal trainer before the pandemic but couldn't be arsed to keep him after he started doing it by phone during the pandemic so I went back to something easy since I had trouble figuring out his schedule.

Have you considered maybe switching it up to very high reps with lighter weights, mixed with pauses or continuous tempos. Super heavy is fun but unless you’re competing I don’t see much use in it unless your testing out strength

Completely understandable
Maybe try measuring your best 5 rep and 10 rep and see if you can break those PRs. I found that leaves my liftism sated
