I'm dealing with bilateral grade 1 varicocele and it's really uncomfortable. There's this burning sensation and it feels heavy down there. I've noticed my left testicle is hanging much lower than the right one. Is that normal, or should I be worried about something like testicular torsion? Any tips on how to prevent it from getting worse?

I'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've been having to pee every 15 minutes and it feels like my bladder isn't emptying completely. My diabetes and UTI tests came back normal could this still be a urinary tract issue or something more serious that might need surgery?
Yes, frequent urination with a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, even with normal diabetes and UTI test results, can still be a urinary tract issue. It could be a sign of overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, or other problems, some of which might require surgical intervention.
