Question

I've been having mild but constant pain and heaviness in my left testicle and was recently diagnosed with Grade 1 Varicocele. Do I need surgery for this or are there other options to manage it?

For Grade 1 varicocele, which is a mild form with small, dilated veins, surgery is often not necessary unless it's causing significant pain or fertility issues. In most cases, non-surgical management like ice packs, pain medication, and supportive underwear can help manage symptoms. If pain persists, or if fertility is affected, surgery (varicocelectomy) might be recommended

Question

I'm having trouble maintaining an erection during sex with my partner, even though I can get one during masturbation and foreplay. Its just during actual penetration where it becomes difficult to keep it up. I even tried taking Viagra 30 minutes before intercourse, but it didnt really help much. What can I do about this?

Question

I'm noticing that my right testicle isn't sitting in the same position as my left one. The right side hangs lower, and I've also observed that the right testicle is bigger than the left. Is this something I should be worried about or maybe get checked out?

Question

I'm really worried about my urine test results showing 810 pus cells and bacteria present. Is this a sign of a severe infection? I've started taking Curran 500 antibiotics, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Should I also get a urine culture test done?
