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

View allI'm a 20-year-old and usually masturbate every 10 days or so, but this time I noticed some bleeding afterward. It's got me pretty freaked out. Is this something I should be worried about?

I noticed a small pea-sized cyst on my scrotum and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I see a urologist or a general surgeon to get it checked out? Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat it?
See a urologist first. If it’s an epidermoid cyst or sebaceous cyst, surgery is the cure. If inflamed, antibiotics may help first.

I've been experiencing something really concerning and I'm not sure what to do. About a month ago, after masturbating, I noticed blood in my urine for a day, but then it cleared up, so I stopped masturbating for about 23 days because I was scared. When I started again, there wasn't any blood at first. But then on March 11th, the bleeding happened again after I masturbated, and this time I also felt pain in my penis. It went away after a day, but then came back after a few days. I'm worried about why this is happening and what it could mean. Can you give me some advice?
It sounds like you may have experienced some irritation or injury to the urinary tract or reproductive organs during masturbation, which can occasionally cause blood in the urine. However, recurring blood in urine, especially with pain, should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out conditions like infections, stones, or other underlying issues. Please consider seeking a consultation with a urologist for a proper diagnosis and peace of mind.
