I had an ultrasound 12 days ago which showed a 9 mm stone in my lower ureter causing kidney swelling. Right now I'm taking homeopathy and neeri tablets but I'm not sure if I should keep taking them for 2 months or if surgery is needed. What type of surgery would be best if I need it?

View allI've been feeling a dragging sensation on the left side of my testicle and my color Doppler test showed extra testicular varicocele grade IV. The doctor said surgery is the only option but I'm wondering if there are any other treatments I could try first
While a grade IV varicocele typically warrants surgical intervention, alternative treatments like embolization or sclerotherapy might be considered. However, you should discuss these options with your doctor or a urologist to determine the best course of treatment for your specific case.

I'm thinking about using lignocaine jelly because I've heard it can help reduce the sensitivity of the glans penis, but I'm wondering how this might affect the process of getting an erection. I'm planning to apply it, but I'm a bit confused about how it all works together. Could you explain how lignocaine might impact erection and whether it's safe to use for this purpose?
Lignocaine jelly works by numbing the area it is applied to, reducing sensitivity. However, an erection is primarily caused by physical and psychological stimulation, leading to increased blood flow to the penis, not just sensitivity. So, even if the glans penis is less sensitive, the erection can still occur due to these other factors.
