I'm 26 and dealing with pain in my left testicle turns out I have grade 1 varicocele after getting a USG. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? The pain gets worse when I have strong sexual urges, stand too long, pass stool, or lift heavy stuff. I just want to get back to my normal pain-free life and start working out again

Yes, there are non-surgical treatments for a grade 1 varicocele that can help manage pain and improve your quality of life. While surgery is the most effective long-term solution, it's not always necessary for mild cases like yours. You can try lifestyle changes and over-the-counter pain relief to manage your symptoms

I'm really worried about some issues I've been having since I quit masturbating a year ago. I started when I was 14 and I've heard it can cause issues both mentally and physically. But since I stopped, I've been dealing with things like fatigue, eye floaters, lower back pain, semen leakage, and watery semen. Is it normal to feel so confused and depressed about this, and how can I get relief from these symptoms?

I'm 26 and dealing with premature ejaculation, and sometimes I feel like I might have ED too. I saw an online homeopathic doctor before who prescribed Damia Plant 20 drops, three times daily, Acidphos 200 10 drops in the morning, and Lycopodium 200 10 drops in the evening. I've been on this for about a month and a half, but I'm not noticing much change. Can you give me some guidance on what I should do next?

It seems like the current homeopathic treatment you are taking for premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction is not showing significant improvement. In such cases, you may consider trying allopathic medications like Dapoxetine (Priligy) for premature ejaculation and Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) for erectile dysfunction. Consult a urologist for dosage and prescription.
