I have a grade 1 varicocele on the left side and I'm a bit worried. What are the best remedies for this? Are there any Ayurvedic medicines that can help or is surgery the only option? Also, does doing yoga make any difference in managing this condition?

For a Grade 1 varicocele, surgery is generally not the first line of treatment, but it is the most effective long-term option if symptoms worsen. While surgery is often considered the definitive treatment, there are various other approaches that can help manage the condition, including Ayurvedic medicines and yoga, along with lifestyle modifications.

I'm dealing with an 8mm kidney stone in the upper pole and a 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction. Is there any way to treat this without going through surgery, or is surgery my only option?

The 8mm stone in the upper pole kidney and the 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction (VUJ) may be treatable without surgery, depending on symptoms and stone composition; options include Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) to break down the stones, or medical expulsive therapy (MET) with medications like alpha-blockers to help pass the stones naturally; however, consult a urologist to determine the best course of treatment based on your specific situation.
