I'm 28 and dealing with phimosis is there any way to treat it without surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible, but not sure what other options might work for someone my age

I've been having really bad pain in my lower abdomen and my IVP report says my left kidney isn't showing up on the scan. The doctor told me my left kidney is in the tube and surgery isn't an option. I'm really worried is there any chance surgery could still be possible? What does this mean for me?

I was wondering when it's safe to start masturbating again after my surgery. The stunt is due to be removed in about four weeks, and I haven't been feeling any pain.

I've had bilateral varicocele for the past 2 years and have been feeling dull pain for the last 10 days. I'm taking Venixmin 900 mg and rutoheal but there's no relief. The surgeon said it's mild and doesn't need treatment, but the pain bothers me. I'm in my 4th year of MBBS and worried about infertility risks. If the pain goes away, do I still need any treatment? What's the best surgery option to prevent recurrence
