For a Grade 3 varicocele, microscopic varicocelectomy is generally considered superior to open surgery, offering potentially better results with fewer complications. It's considered the "gold standard" in many cases

I've been noticing some white particles in my urine almost every morning. There's no itching or irritation, but I'm concerned because this doesn't seem normal. What could this be?

UTIs are a common cause of white particles in the urine. UTIs occur when bacteria enter the urethra and make their way to the bladder, kidneys, or ureter, where they multiply and cause the infection. Less commonly, viruses, parasites, or fungi entering the urinary tract may cause a UTI. consult nephrologist

I'm in a relationship, and while we do have intimate moments, I find myself not fully satisfied. I'm curious if there are any safe medical pills that can help increase stamina and possibly enhance the size of my partner's anus without causing any side effects. What would you recommend?

It's important to approach concerns about sexual satisfaction and stamina with open communication and care. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice, as there are no over-the-counter pills guaranteed to safely and effectively address these issues without potential side effects. They can guide you toward solutions that are safe and suitable for both of you.
