I'm dealing with a bilateral grade 1 varicocele, and I'm really worried because my left testicle is sagging a lot lower than my right one. It's causing a lot of pain and discomfort. I've seen a urologist who suggested I take Hetrazan and Health OK tablets, but they haven't really helped. Do you think I should consider surgery? If so, what type of surgery would be best with the least complications? I'm really anxious to find a solution.

Bilateral varicocele with discomfort, especially in the left testicle, may sometimes require surgery if symptoms persist. The most common option is laparoscopic varicocelectomy, which has fewer complications and a quicker recovery time compared to open surgery. It's best to discuss your symptoms and treatment options with your urologist to see if surgery is necessary in your case.

I've noticed this small lump near my groin that's really painful when I touch it. I'm getting a bit worried and am wondering if there's a specific treatment I should be considering or if this is something that needs immediate attention. Would you be able to give me some guidance on what I should do next?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may have a swollen lymph node or an abscess. I recommend using an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen to help with the pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area several times a day to help reduce the swelling and discomfort. If the lump does not improve or if you develop a fever, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and possible antibiotic treatment.
