I have grade 2 varicocele with a sperm count of 15 million and motility at 35%. Can this be treated with Ayurvedic medicine or do I need surgery? Looking for guidance on the best approach.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a grade 2 varicocele with a sperm count of 15 million and 35% motility, both Ayurvedic treatments and surgical options could be considered. Ayurvedic approaches might focus on managing pain and inflammation, potentially improving sperm parameters. However, if pain is severe or fertility is significantly impacted, surgery, specifically varicocelectomy or embolization, may be recommended

View allI've been feeling a bit self-conscious about my manhood. I'm 32 and though I have decent length, it's the thickness that's really got me concerned. Are there any supplements out there that could help with increasing the thickness?
While there are no scientifically proven supplements that can significantly increase the thickness of the penis, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking can support overall sexual health.

I'm really concerned because I've noticed that my penis seems smaller, and the skin doesn't move back at all. Plus, there are red patches appearing at the tip that seem like an infection. Could you give me some advice on what this might be or how I could treat it?
Diagnosis* 1. *Phimosis*: A condition where the foreskin is tight and cannot be retracted over the glans penis. 2. *Balanitis*: An inflammation of the glans penis, which can cause red patches, itching, and discharge. 3. *Genital warts or other STIs*: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). *Treatment Advice* 1. *Consult a urologist or dermatologist*: Schedule an appointment with a specialist to confirm the diagnosis and receive personalized treatment. 2. *Topical creams or ointments*: For balanitis, your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, or miconazole. 3. *Antibiotics or antivirals*: If an STI is suspected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics or antivirals to treat the underlying infection. 4. *Circumcision or preputioplasty*: If phimosis is diagnosed, your doctor may recommend circumcision or preputioplasty to loosen the foreskin. 5. *Good genital hygiene*: Practice good genital hygiene by keeping the area clean, avoiding harsh soaps, and wearing loose-fitting clothing. *Additional Tips* 1. *Avoid self-medication*: Refrain from using over-the-counter creams or ointments without consulting a doctor. 2. *Practice safe sex*: Use condoms to prevent the transmission of STIs. 3. *Follow-up appointments*: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor treatment progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I'm 21 and I'm having some trouble because I can't get it hard during sex. I used to masturbate a lot, and now I'm worried if all that is causing erectile dysfunction. Could that be the reason?
Excessive masturbation, especially if it becomes a frequent habit, can sometimes lead to temporary erectile dysfunction (ED) due to overstimulation or desensitization. However, ED at your age can also be influenced by factors like stress, anxiety, or relationship issues. It's important to focus on a balanced lifestyle and consult a healthcare provider if the issue persists.
