Had open varicocele surgery 6 months back is it safe to start running or working out now could it affect the veins

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Six months post-op from open varicocele surgery, it's generally safe to resume running and working out, but it's crucial to listen to your body and gradually increase activity levels. While light exercise like walking is often recommended early on, avoid strenuous activities like running and weightlifting for the initial few weeks

I've been having issues with frequent urination and incomplete emptying of my bladder for years now, and honestly, it's really frustrating. I've seen a urologist and went through all sorts of tests like kidney and abdomen ultrasounds, cystoscopy, blood sugar checks, and everything came back normal. I've also taken different medications for urinary and bladder infections, as recommended by my doctor, but nothing has worked. Lately, I've noticed this white liquid occasionally in my urine at night, and it's freaking me out a bit. I've tried so many things, but I'm not seeing any results. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Consult a urologist again to discuss: - Urodynamic tests to assess bladder function - Pelvic floor physical therapy - Consider consulting a nephrologist to rule out kidney issues - Get tested for: - Urine culture and sensitivity - Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test (if not done already) - Lifestyle changes: - Practice pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises) - Manage fluid intake - Avoid irritants like caffeine and spicy foods

I'm really concerned because during sex, my foreskin doesn't seem to retract properly, and it's starting to get more painful. Is there something I can do to fix this issue, or should I be worried about it getting worse?

If your foreskin is not retracting (a condition called phimosis), it can cause pain or difficulty during sex. Using prescribed steroid creams or gentle stretching exercises might help, but if the issue persists, consult a urologistcircumcision or a minor surgical procedure may be necessary for permanent relief.
