A soft, painful lump in your right testicle warrants immediate medical attention, even if you are hesitant about surgery. While many scrotal masses are benign, some can be a sign of testicular cancer, which is curable if caught early. It's crucial to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan from a doctor, potentially a urologist, to determine the cause and best course of action.

I have bilateral varicocele, worse on the left side and milder on the right. Can homeopathy actually help treat this or is surgery the only real option for relief? I'm worried about the long-term effects if left untreated but also hesitant about going under the knife right away. What would you recommend?

I'm feeling really worried about some health issues I'm experiencing. I've tested positive for HSV 1 IgG at 3.9, but my HSV 1 IgM is negative. I had unprotected sex about a year ago and my HIV test has come back negative since then. However, I've been dealing with a burning sensation on my penis and there's also pimples on the glans that aren't water-filled. I'm also experiencing a burning sensation on my tongue. I haven't started any treatment for HSV yet and I'm really concerned because I read online that not treating HSV could possibly lead to HIV in the future. I'm unmarried and this has me wondering if it's safe for me to get married in the future. Lastly, I had a liver sonography that revealed a grade 1 fatty liver about a month ago. Is this related to the HSV? What should I be doing now? I'm really in need of some guidance.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
