I have bilateral varicocele and sometimes feel pain in my scrotum area. I'm really not keen on surgery are there any effective ayurvedic treatments that could help manage this condition?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While Ayurveda can offer supportive strategies for managing pain and potential fertility issues associated with varicocele, it's crucial to understand that Ayurvedic treatments are not a substitute for medical diagnosis and conventional treatment. Varicocele is primarily managed with medical procedures like surgery, and Ayurveda can be used alongside conventional treatment to address symptoms and improve overall well-being

View allI have category 1 phimosis where my foreskin retracts fully when flaccid but only goes halfway down the head when erect. It feels tight if I try to pull it further back. I don't think surgery is necessary can you recommend any steroid creams or medicines to help loosen and increase flexibility in the foreskin?
For category 1 phimosis, where the foreskin retracts fully when flaccid but not when erect, steroid creams can be a helpful treatment option to increase foreskin flexibility. Specifically, topical corticosteroids like hydrocortisone or stronger creams like clobetasol (Dermovate) can be applied to help reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. Gentle foreskin stretching exercises, after applying the cream, can also be beneficial

I'm currently in the hospital for a bad pain I was having, and they found a 5.7mm stone near my kidney. It shrank to 3mm, and now I'm thinking about switching to homeopathic treatment. Is it wise to leave the hospital for that? I've heard about this leaf called pather chatta that might help. Should I go for it, or could the pain come back?
