I'm 25 and have been diagnosed with varicocele is there any way to treat it without surgery? I've attached my report and really want to explore non-surgical options if possible. What would you recommend?

Yes, it's possible to manage a varicocele without surgery, especially if it's mild and not causing fertility issues. Non-surgical options include lifestyle changes, ice packs, over-the-counter pain relievers, and a procedure called embolization.

I'm feeling a bit worried because my doctor at Medanta Gurgaon mentioned that I might need frenuloplasty surgery. Are there any other options or alternatives to this procedure? I'm not sure what to do and would really appreciate some guidance.

Frenuloplasty is commonly recommended to treat a tight or shortened frenulum, but alternatives like steroid creams or stretching exercises might help in milder cases. It's best to discuss with your doctor if these options could be suitable for you.

I've had a cyst on my scrotum for about a year now. I thought it would go away on its own, but it's just getting bigger. It started with one and now there are four. What's going on? Should I be worried?
