I'm 32 and married, living in Mumbai. I'm dealing with a situation that's been worrying me: my penis bends to the left when it's erect, and my foreskin doesn't pull back easily; when I try to force it, it hurts. I've talked to my wife about this, so that's a relief, but I really need a solution. Could someone please provide some advice on how to handle this?

I've been diagnosed with grade 2 varicocele and have some pain in my testes, especially when walking. My doctor said surgery isn't needed since it's grade 2, but I'm still feeling uncomfortable. Should I get a second opinion or is it okay to manage it without surgery?

It's reasonable to seek a second opinion if you're experiencing discomfort despite your doctor's assessment that surgery isn't necessary for a grade 2 varicocele. While conservative management (like pain relievers and scrotal support) is often sufficient for mild cases, persistent pain warrants further evaluation. A second opinion can offer different perspectives and treatment options, including potentially exploring embolization, a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure

I am 23 years old. can phimosis be correctedtreated without a surgery thank you. if yesno then please elaborate.

Yes, phimosis can often be treated without surgery, especially in mild to moderate cases. Non-surgical options include steroid creams and gentle stretching techniques. In some cases, more aggressive dilations using a balloon dilator might be needed. If these methods fail or the phimosis is severe, surgery (circumcision) may be recommended.
