I've had a left side varicocele for about a year now and need microsurgery but most doctors in Maharashtra are suggesting open surgery instead. Do they use any magnification during open surgery or is microsurgery the better option here? Also, can you recommend specialists in Maharashtra who perform microsurgery for varicocele?
Microsurgical varicocelectomy, which uses magnification, is generally considered the preferred option for varicocele treatment due to its lower complication rates and higher success rates in preserving testicular function and fertility compared to open surgery. While open surgery may involve some magnification (loupes), it doesn't offer the same level of precision and visualization as a microscope used in microsurgery

I have cryptorchidism that wasn't treated when I was younger and now I'm 19 with no pain. What should I do next? Which hospital department handles this condition? Is there any medicine I can try with a doctor's guidance or is surgery my only option? Between orchiopexy and orchiectomy, which one would be better for me?
At your age, if you have cryptorchidism with no pain, it's essential to consult with a urologist or pediatric urologist. They can assess your specific case, discuss treatment options, and help you make an informed decision. While surgery is usually recommended, the specific procedure (orchiopexy or orchiectomy) depends on various factors, including the testicle's condition and your individual circumstances
