I'm a 21-year-old male and I've been having recurring UTIs. I had one back in January, where my abdomen scan was normal but the urine culture showed E. coli. My doctor prescribed Nitrofurantoin for 14 days along with Citralka and Meftalspas. Then in May, I got another UTI. Again, my abdomen scan was normal but E. coli showed up in the culture. This time, I was given 14 Amikacin 500 injections for a week plus Citralka. I felt fine for about 15 days, but now I'm experiencing a burning sensation when I pee. I'm really concerned and don't know what to do next. Can you help?

I've been diagnosed with grade 4 varicocele and have had pain in my lower abdomen and right testicle for about a month now. Are there any treatment options that don't involve surgery? The discomfort is really bothering me and I'm worried about what this means long-term

Yes, there are non-surgical treatments available for a grade 4 varicocele that can help manage the pain and discomfort you're experiencing. These options include pain relief medications and procedures like embolization or sclerotherapy.

I had orchiopexy surgery about 4 years ago and now I noticed a small lump really close to the top of my testicle could this just be scar tissue from the surgery or something else I should get checked out?

do USG FOR FINAL DIAGNOSIS.

I'm dealing with varicocele and currently taking Daflon 500mg for it. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have sex, or could that make my situation worse?

It's generally safe to have sex with varicocele while taking Daflon 500mg, as it should not worsen the condition. However, if you're experiencing pain or discomfort, it might be helpful to consult your doctor for personalized advice.
