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.

I'm kind of concerned because whenever I exercise, I've noticed my penis tends to shrink inwards. This started happening around two weeks ago after I started taking some medicine for constipation. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it a normal side effect?

My dad has been having some kidney pain and tests confirmed he has kidney stones. The doctors are recommending surgery right away without trying any medications first. Can you review the reports and let me know if surgery is really necessary? If yes, how soon should it be done?
