I have grade 1 varicocele in my left testicle, and some doctors say surgery isn't needed, but I'm noticing shrinkage in my testicles, reduced penis size, erectile dysfunction, and daily pain below the left testicle. I feel like my testosterone might be dropping, and it's affecting my energy and motivation. Should I consider laparoscopic surgery, microsurgery, or embolization to fix this and get back to my active life? What's the best option for grade 1 varicocele?
Given your Grade 1 varicocele symptoms, which include testicle shrinkage, reduced penis size, erectile dysfunction, pain, and suspected low testosterone, a surgical intervention might be beneficial. While some doctors may initially suggest observation for Grade 1 varicoceles, the progression of your symptoms suggests that surgery could improve your quality of life and address potential long-term fertility issues.

I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with a UTI about two weeks ago. This morning, I had a follow-up urine routine test to see if it's cleared up, but I'm not sure how to interpret the results. In one report, the latest is highlighted in yellow, and the other is from 14 days ago. Could you help me figure out if I'm still dealing with this infection or if it's finally gone?
