Fistula and hydrocele surgeries can be done together, but the best approach often depends on the individual case and surgeon's preference. Both surgeries are generally considered relatively low-risk, but combining them might slightly increase the risk of complications, such as infection or bleeding. The recovery process might also be slightly longer if both procedures are done concurrently.

I'm feeling a bit self-conscious about my erection size, which is about 10 cm. I'm wondering if there's any realistic way to increase it significantly, maybe to something like 55.5 inches? Is this even possible or am I aiming too high?

It's important to understand that penis size can vary greatly among individuals, and factors such as genetics play a significant role. While some treatments like exercises or devices claim to help, their effectiveness is often limited. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and to address any concerns you may have.

I have grade 2 varicocele on the left side and grade 1 on the right, with a sperm count of 8 million/ml and very low motility at 10% and morphology at 1%. I'm considering surgery but unsure which method is better laparoscopic or microsurgery. What's the difference between these two in terms of repairing varicocele, and which one would be more suitable for my condition?
