I have bilateral grade 1 varicocele but my left testicle feels heavy and painful especially when lying down. I'm considering surgery but unsure whether microsurgical varicocelectomy or embolization would be better in terms of success rates and fewer complications. Which option tends to have better outcomes for cases like mine?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a case of bilateral Grade 1 varicocele with pain and heaviness in the left testicle, microsurgical varicocelectomy is generally preferred over embolization due to its higher success rates and potentially fewer long-term complications.

View allI've been experiencing something a bit odd and I'm not sure if I should be worried. When I start off, everything seems fine and I get an erection, but after about 23 minutes, I go soft. However, if I take a little break and focus on kissing, it gets erect again. Is this a normal pattern, or is there something I should be concerned about?
It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.

After walking or going up stairs, I sometimes feel briefly blind, and my bones ache as if I'm really weak, which seems odd since I'm only 19 and a half. Are there any medications or methods to help control this?
