I had varicocele surgery 10 years ago but still get occasional pain in my testicles - is this normal or could the veins have come back
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's possible for occasional testicle pain to persist even after a varicocele surgery. While the surgery aims to fix the dilated veins, it's not always a complete cure, and some pain can be related to residual or recurrent varicocele, nerve irritation, or other factors. It's also possible that your pain has a different origin than the varicocele itself.

View allI'm a 34-year-old male with a 9mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I have to travel abroad this month Is there any way to treat it without surgery I'm really worried about this
While a 9mm kidney stone might typically require surgery, there are some non-surgical options to consider, especially if travel is a concern. One possibility is shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which uses sound waves to break down the stone into smaller pieces that can pass through the urinary tract. Another option is ureteroscopy, where a small camera is inserted through the urethra to locate and remove the stone, or to break it down with laser or other tools.

just found out i have a 6mm stone stuck in my ureter and really want to avoid surgery what are my options to pass it naturally
A 6mm kidney stone stuck in the ureter can be managed by encouraging it to pass naturally, with the goal of avoiding surgery. This involves increasing fluid intake, potentially using medication to relax the ureter, and managing pain.

I've been experiencing something a bit odd and I'm not sure if I should be worried. When I start off, everything seems fine and I get an erection, but after about 23 minutes, I go soft. However, if I take a little break and focus on kissing, it gets erect again. Is this a normal pattern, or is there something I should be concerned about?
It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.
