i have varicocele in my left testicle and want to know if there are any medicines that can treat it without needing surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There are no medications that directly treat varicoceles themselves. However, some medications can help manage pain and discomfort associated with the condition. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can provide relief. Additionally, lifestyle changes, such as wearing supportive underwear,can help with pain management

View allI'm really concerned and wondering, can smoking actually cause pain in my right testicle? If that's possible, what might be the reasons behind it? How should I go about diagnosing this issue? Please help me figure this out.
Coblation adenoidectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to remove enlarged adenoids. Here's how it differs from traditional surgery: _Traditional Adenoidectomy_ 1. _Removal of adenoids_: Adenoids are completely removed using a curette or suction cautery. 2. _More invasive_: Requires more tissue disruption and bleeding. _Coblation Adenoidectomy_ 1. _Partial removal of adenoids_: Only the obstructive portion of the adenoids is removed. 2. _Less invasive_: Uses a coblation wand to dissolve and remove adenoid tissue, reducing bleeding and tissue damage. 3. _Faster recovery_: Typically results in less post-operative pain and faster recovery. _Benefits of Coblation Technique_ 1. _Reduced bleeding_: Coblation technique reduces bleeding and promotes faster healing. 2. _Less post-operative pain_: Coblation adenoidectomy typically results in less pain and discomfort. 3. _Shorter hospital stay_: Patients often require a shorter hospital stay. _Potential Side Effects of Coblation Technique_ 1. _Temporary voice changes_: Some patients may experience temporary voice changes or nasal regurgitation. 2. _Nasal bleeding_: Rarely, patients may experience nasal bleeding or infection.

I'm having some trouble with my foreskin. I can pull it back when I'm semi-erect, but not when I'm fully erect. Is this something I should be worried about?
Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin can't be pulled back from the head of the penis.A steroid cream is usually tried first. Surgery is then recommended if the cream doesn't work.

I'm thinking about using Emla cream to help with premature ejaculation, and I saw it contains lidocaine and prilocaine. Is this safe to use for this purpose? I'm just a bit concerned and would like some advice on whether it's a good idea or if there are any risks I should be aware of.
Emla cream is not typically used for premature ejaculation. It is a topical anesthetic cream commonly used to numb the skin before certain medical procedures. For premature ejaculation, medications like dapoxetine (Priligy) can be more effective.
