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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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 have a 9mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really nervous about the risks. Is it safe to go through with the operation or are there other options I should consider first? I don't feel great about getting cut open
In 50% of patients who have 9 mm kidney stones, surgical treatment is usually required. The most effective treatment for them is extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), which is a non-invasive procedure.
