I found out I have a grade III varicocele in my right testicle after a Doppler scan was done because I had some pain there a few months back. The doctor mentioned I might need surgery. I'm feeling a bit worried about not treating it. Can there be any side effects if I leave it as is? Would not having the surgery impact anything long-term?

I'm a 64-year-old guy, and I've had this high fever since yesterday. I'm also dealing with frequent Urination every couple of hours, but it feels like I have to go more than what actually comes out. My doctor suggested Citralka and Dolo, but I'm wondering if there's any other medication I should be taking? Could this frequent urination be a sign of something more serious?

CT value of 32 in your husband's RT-PCR test result indicates that the test detected a relatively low amount of viral RNA. This suggests that the infection is likely mild, and he may be less contagious . However, it's essential to note that CT values aren't always a perfect indicator of infectivity or symptom severity. Some studies have shown that people with high CT values (above 30) can still be infectious, although the likelihood decreases . Given your husband's mild symptoms, such as a cough and sore throat, and a high oxygen saturation level (SpO2 of 99), it's likely that he's experiencing a mild case of COVID-19.

My father has been dealing with urinary issues for a while now and his PSA levels are really high. His urine flow keeps getting weaker every day. Can this be treated with surgery or medication? What options do we have?

A high PSA level and a weak urine stream in men can be a sign of several conditions, including an enlarged prostate (BPH) or prostate cancer. It's crucial for your father to consult with a doctor or urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
