Question 1

My ultrasound showed grade 5 and grade 2 varicocele in both testicles. The doctors are saying surgery might be the only option is that really the case? Are there other treatments I could try first? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my fertility and overall health. What would you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

I've been constantly feeling the need to pee and it burns after I go, and this has been happening for almost a month now. My sugar test, urine routine, urine culture, and whole abdomen ultrasound already came back normal. I took antibiotics twice a day for 10 days, and they did help for a while, but then the symptoms came back. I'm currently taking Pyridium 200 thrice a day, Citra soda twice a day, and K Cit syrup twice a day to help with the burning, but the urge to urinate is still there all the time. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question 3

I'm 24 and really concerned about my penis size, as it seems unusually small. When it's not erect, it's less than 2 inches. I'm wondering if there's a way to increase its size? Also, could you tell me what's considered a normal size for a penis both in an erect and non-erect state? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

Accepted Answer

The average size of a flaccid penis is typically around 3.5 inches to 3.9 inches, while the average size of an erect penis is around 5.1 to 5.7 inches. It's important to note that penis size can vary and is not necessarily an indicator of sexual function or satisfaction. There are some medications available that may help with erectile dysfunction and potentially improve blood flow to the penis, leading to firmer erections.
