I had varicocele surgery two months ago but still have testicle pain. The recent scan shows some veins are still there and it's now grade 1. Do I need another surgery or are there other options to manage this?

It's understandable to be concerned about ongoing pain after varicocele surgery, especially with a grade 1 varicocele still present. While some vein persistence is normal, persistent pain warrants further investigation. While repeat surgery could be an option, other conservative measures and interventions should be considered first

Why is the head of my penis so dry? I'm having trouble pulling the back skin upwards after rolling it down, though that part is easy. Plus, the ring of my penis is turning more red and patchy. What's going on with that?

Use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected area for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps or perfumed products, can help with healing. If symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
