I recently got a Doppler scrotal scan that showed grade 1 varicocele without reflux on color Doppler. The report says it might need surgery and could progress to grade 2 later. I'm worried about how this could affect my fertility does this mean I might have trouble having kids in the future? Should I consider surgery now or wait? Also, could this impact my decision to get married or stay single?

I've noticed something a bit concerning recently. There have been big ants getting attracted to my urine for the past few days. I'm not sure if this is connected, but I've been under a lot of stress and have a huge workload. I've also been experiencing wet dreams occasionally. Is there any chance these things might be related?

It's possible that the ants are attracted to your urine due to the sugar content, which can sometimes be a sign of high blood sugar or diabetes. Stress can also affect your body in various ways, including increasing your stress levels and potentially influencing hormonal changes that lead to wet dreams. It would be good to consult a doctor to address both concerns, especially if you're experiencing any other symptoms.
