Can varicocele grade 1 be fully treated without surgery? I've heard about homeopathy but not sure if it actually works for this condition. Are there other non-surgical options that might help?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, grade 1 varicocele, which is the mildest form, can often be managed without surgery, especially if there are no significant symptoms or fertility concerns. Non-surgical options like lifestyle changes, certain supplements, and embolization can be effective alternatives. While homeopathy is often considered an alternative medicine, there is no scientific evidence to support its effectiveness in treating varicocele

I'm not sure who I should see about thisshould I go to a psychiatrist, sexologist, or urologist? Any advice would be appreciated.
-It sounds frustrating, and I'm sorry you're going through this. I would suggest starting with a consultation with a urologist or a sexologist, as they specialize in sexual health issues like premature ejaculation. They can guide you on treatment options

I'm having trouble pulling back the foreskin on my penis, and it's causing a really uncomfortable tightness at the tip during full erections and when trying to insert. On top of that, I'm dealing with premature ejaculation. Should I be seeing a urologist for this, or is a general surgeon the better option? Also, is there a connection between this issue with my foreskin, phimosis I think it's called, and premature ejaculation?
You should consult a urologist, as they specialize in genital and urinary tract issues, including phimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin) and premature ejaculation (PE); while phimosis and PE can coexist, they are not directly related, but treating phimosis through circumcision, preputioplasty, or frenuloplasty may help alleviate discomfort and tightness, which could indirectly improve PE symptoms, and a urologist can assess and address both concerns.

My friend mentioned that he feels a burning sensation when he pees, especially towards the end. I recently gave him oral sex even though I had a cold and an itchy throat, and I also had a cough drop in my mouth at the time. Could that be causing his problem? What might be going on, and is there something he can take to feel better?
It sounds like your friend may have a urinary tract infection (UTI) which can cause a burning sensation during urination. He can take an over-the-counter medication called Phenazopyridine (brand name Pyridium) to help relieve the burning sensation. However, it is important for him to also see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment, as UTIs can sometimes require antibiotics for complete resolution.
