Question 1

I'm experiencing this dragging sensation on the left side of my testicle and the color Doppler test showed I have a grade IV extra testicular varicocele on that side. My doctor mentioned surgery as the only solution, but I'm wondering if there might be any other treatments available. Could you offer some advice or alternatives?

Accepted Answer

While surgery is often recommended for high-grade varicoceles like Grade IV, alternative treatments may include embolization, a minimally invasive procedure to block blood flow to the varicocele, or sclerotherapy, injecting a solution to shrink the varicocele; however, consult your doctor or a urologist to discuss these options and determine the best course of treatment for your specific case.

Question 2

I'm a bit concerned about my penis size and I wonder if a 4.5-inch girth is considered small for Indian men. What would be an ideal girth size?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

I've just found out I have a 1.5 cm right renal simple upper polar cortical cyst. There's no hydronephrosis or calculus, but there's minimal free fluid in the pelvis. I'm really worried about what kind of treatment I might need and how quickly this can be resolved. Can you help me understand what steps I should take next?

Accepted Answer

Treatment for a simple kidney cyst depends on whether it's causing symptoms or blocking urine or blood flow: 
No symptoms: A doctor may monitor the cyst periodically. 
Symptoms: A health care provider may recommend treatment, such as:
Sclerotherapy: A long needle is used to puncture the cyst under ultrasound guidance, then the cyst is drained and filled with a solution to harden it. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. 
Laparoscopy: A surgeon uses a laparoscope, a tube with a small video camera, to locate the cyst. The cyst is drained, then removed or burned. This procedure is performed in a hospital with general anesthesia and may require a one or two day stay.

I have about 1-2 cm of extra skin on my penis that makes sex uncomfortable for me and my partner. Who should I see for this, and what surgical options are available to fix it quickly?
