I'm a bit concerned because my testicles aren't tight when I get an erection, and this has only been happening for the past month. What worries me more is that when I go to poop, my testicles tighten up. Could you explain what's going on with this?

View allI've been diagnosed with varicocele and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure whether to go for open surgery or embolization which one has better recovery and fewer risks
Varicocele embolization typically offers a shorter recovery time and fewer risks compared to open varicocele surgery. Embolization, a minimally invasive procedure, has a recovery period of 1-2 days, while open surgery requires 2-4 weeks of recovery. Additionally, embolization has a lower risk of complications like testicular loss, hydrocele formation, and nerve injury compared to surgery.

I'm concerned because when my penis becomes erect, it bends downward, and it's about 5 inches in size. I'm really curious if there's a way to make it straighter and maybe even increase the size. Can you help with this?
It's common for the penis to have a slight bend during an erection, and this often doesn't require treatment unless it causes discomfort or affects sexual function. If you're concerned about the bend or size, consider consulting a urologist to rule out any underlying conditions like Peyronie's disease and explore safe options for treatment. As for size, non-surgical methods are limited, and a healthcare professional can guide you on realistic expectations and options.

I'm 61 years old with a Grade 2 enlarged prostate and cysts in both kidneys 14x10mm on the right and 14x12mm on the left. Should I be considering surgery for these conditions?
your kidney cysts don't need surgery. Prostate may need treatment if it is causing problems. See your family doctor or a urologist for this.
