Does having a grade 1 or grade 2 varicocele impact sperm morphology and is there any way to treat it without surgery

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes, varicoceles, even milder ones like Grade 1 or 2, can affect sperm morphology and overall sperm quality. While surgery is a common treatment, non-surgical options like embolization are available

I've been diagnosed with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis and urinary bladder wall thickening of 7mm. Are there any medications that can help treat these conditions or is surgery an option for prostatitis? Would surgery provide a permanent solution for these issues?

For chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, medication is the primary treatment option, although surgery might be considered in specific cases. Bladder wall thickening, however, is a different issue and requires separate evaluation and treatment. There is no guarantee of a permanent cure, but with appropriate management, symptoms can be effectively controlled.
