Can getting pregnant with a torn condom work if we're trying for a baby by cutting the tip with scissors? I have tight foreskin and sex without a condom is painful, so we're using this method but not sure if it's effective. I might need surgery for phimosis but that could take months, and we want to try conceiving this year

I'm 27 and really want to start going to the gym but my grade 1 varicocele is holding me back is there any way to manage the pain and keep working out without needing surgery

Grade 1 doesnt require surgery .Antibiotics like ceftas 200 mg twice daily ,per orally for about 7 days is advised to the patient.

I've been diagnosed with varicocele and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure whether to go for open surgery or embolization which one has better recovery and fewer risks

Varicocele embolization typically offers a shorter recovery time and fewer risks compared to open varicocele surgery. Embolization, a minimally invasive procedure, has a recovery period of 1-2 days, while open surgery requires 2-4 weeks of recovery. Additionally, embolization has a lower risk of complications like testicular loss, hydrocele formation, and nerve injury compared to surgery.
