I use nascent iodine (liquid) which is iodine in molecular form. This form of iodine is the least harsh on the skin and body, because it contains no potassium or alcohol. It is also the best absorbable. I use this brand:

2 days ago I had another great insight about my varicocele which has relieved it alot. Apparently my testicle was twisted half a revolution, which made my testicular vein appear on the front, instead of on the back of the testicle where they're supposed to be. So I Googled how they normally do a manual detorsion in cases of testicular torsion, and it is supposed to be from your point of view as if you're opening a book, so in my case (varicocele on the left) I had to spin my testicle to the left. So I did that, and it left me with a slightly dull pain, but the inflammatory pain associated with the varicocele actually was relieved alot. After one night sleeping, the dull pain also dissapeared, plus my varicocele decreased alot in severity. The veins felt fluffy and soft again even while standing, like on my right testicle. Now everyday my left testicle feels alot more cooled than it used to be. Cooled testicles = healthy testicles. Amazing progress. So make sure your testicles are positioned in the healthy way they're supposed to be. Make sure there is no mild testicular torsion like as was the case in my testicle. Only half a rotation already caused dilating and pain of the varicocele/the vein which was varicocele'd. (Is that a word? lol).
The nascent iodine is very healthy to both testicles and the varicocele. As I would use it at night, I would wake up with completely cooled testicles, and the varicocele being almost non-existent.
I don't do PE while varicocele healing, I'd rather wait until the varicocele is cured, and then I will start with PE. I do it like this because my varicocele bothers me too much, since it comes with implications for sexual health. (testosterone production, seed production, enlarging of the prostate and psychologically due to constant pain in the area which is distracting) Also my orgasms feel much better when the varicocele is at a minimum, compared to the weak orgasms when my varicocele is at it's fullest.
Even though the iodine and the correct positioning of the testicle have helped tremendously, the vein still feels a bit weak with a mild pain associated with what I think is blood stasis (not excessive dilating as the usual), and I am thinking of what my next step will be. Did you know that in Japan, hospitals and urologists recommend Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan as standard procedure for varicocele? I found out about this by googling varicocele in Japanese and reading it on various hospital websites. The Japanese name for Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan is Keishi Bukuryo Gan. It's amazing how this is relatively unknown in the west. Japan has one of the most healthiest populations in the world.
I researched Traditional Chinese Medicine a bit, of which Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan originates from. Apparently blood stasis is a reason according to TCM it occurs. Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan treats this. Video on that here:

I'm always sceptical when it comes to anything that has no established foundation in science, but the study I posted in my previous post about Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan and varicocele is a real study, and it apparently is used for ages in TCM for problems related to blood stasis, as varicocele is, with succes. I also want to make sure I don't make anything worse in the varicocele, so it's always a risk when taking certain herbal supplements. So far however I have used alot of supplements for all sorts of problems and general health and I have had no bad experiences with them.
I only used Aescin in the form of Horse chestnut seed pills, which caused my varicocele to become worse. I researched and it seems Horse chestnut causes increased Nitric oxide production. And according to a varicocele e-book I read, excess nitric oxide in the body makes varicocele worse, because it will only cause it to dilate more.
Also a note on the iodine scrotal treatment, any substance you use topically on the scrotum will cause the substance to come in the bloodstream really fast. I had one night in which I used an abnormal high amount of nascent iodine on my scrotum and I woke up midnight with pain in my left calf. I thought this could be a thrombotic event because I don't work out at all nor move alot in my life, and my father has had a thrombosis in his leg too. (excess) iodine supplementation could cause a temporarily state of mild hypo- or hyperthyroidism which lasts for a few days, and hypo- and hyperthyroidism are associated with dangerous alterations to the coagulation in the blood, which could cause a potentially deadly thrombosis. So beware with the dosing, use only a couple of drops to be on the safe side, and don't go overboard like I did with quite alot of big amounts of iodine.
I have a nattokinase - serrapeptase formula supplement at home, and both of these substances are proven to be natural blood clot dissolvers, because of the fibrinolytic action these substances posses. So after the calf pain came, I took 2 of these pills and the pain dissapeared after a while. I have these pills at home mainly because I am always wary of thrombosis due to the fact I don't move my body alot daily. (living quite sedentary)
So i'm in doubt right now, to start taking these Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan pills right now, or start a high dose vitamin C regimen (work to around atleast 10 grams a day) to strengthen the vein. I could do both, but I'm afraid that one could rule the other one out in chemical effects. I don't know. I have Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan pills where 1 pill is concentrated to 1 gram of the stuff (they used 7,5 grams a day in the study I linked).
I'll keep things up to date in this topic.
I have also updated my opening post with alot of useful information.
