I have bilateral grade 1 varicocele and my left testicle hangs much lower and feels heavier than the right one. The urologist prescribed hetrazan and health okay tablets, but they aren't helping with the pain and discomfort. Should I consider surgery? What's the best type with the least complications?

While Grade 1 varicocele typically doesn't require surgery, if your symptoms persist, surgery might be considered. If the discomfort, testicle heaviness, and low hanging are persistent despite medication, exploring surgical options. Laparoscopic varicocelectomy is often the preferred approach due to its fewer complications and faster recovery

Since the wound was minor and you removed the pin instantly, the risk of tetanus infection is low. However, it's always best to err on the side of caution, especially if you're unsure of your tetanus vaccination status. Consider consulting a primary care physician or an urgent care center for further evaluation. They may recommend a tetanus booster shot as a precautionary measure. Additionally, they can assess the wound and provide guidance on wound care and pain management. If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention to rule out any underlying complications.
