Can grade 23 varicocele only be treated with surgery or are there other options? I have slight discomfort when standing for long or lifting weights is surgery the best solution? How does stopping the vein work during surgery and how do we know blood will find another way to flow? Would love to hear your thoughts based on experience.

I've been dealing with premature ejaculation and it's really starting to get to me. I'm looking for some advice on how I can manage this. Do you have any suggestions on what might help?

Premature ejaculation can be managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, counseling, and medical treatments. Techniques such as the "start-stop" method, pelvic exercises (Kegel exercises), and, if necessary, medications like SSRIs can be helpful. Consulting a healthcare provider for a personalized plan would be a good next step.

Should I keep doing the same exercises for longer or try phimosis rings available online? What treatment would you suggest?
