Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

When the varicocele is grade I then you can ignore as your doctor told, and there are many people having children in the presence of varicocele. After marriage if there is a delay in conceiving by your wife then it can be decided.
Pain in varicocele is usually a dragging in nature that too in advanced cases.
There may be pain over scrotum other than due to varicocele (Eg. Epididymitis). So consult your physician and with other investigations and examination of the region we can arrive at the diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly.
Get well soon.
