I'm dealing with bilateral varicocele grade 2, and I'm wondering if varicocele embolization is a good option for me. Could you give me some advice on whether it's the right path to take?

View allI'm a bit worried because my serum creatinine level came back as 1.5 in my report. Does this mean something's wrong? I saw a urologist, but they didn't mention anything about it. Should I be concerned?
A serum creatinine level of 1.5 mgdL is slightly elevated, as the normal range is typically 0.6-1.2 mgdL, but it's not alarmingly high; the urologist might not have flagged it as abnormal since it's mildly elevated, but it's essential to monitor kidney function and recheck creatinine levels to ensure it doesn't indicate underlying kidney issues.

I have grade 1 varicocele in my left testicle, and some doctors say surgery isn't needed, but I'm noticing shrinkage in my testicles, reduced penis size, erectile dysfunction, and daily pain below the left testicle. I feel like my testosterone might be dropping, and it's affecting my energy and motivation. Should I consider laparoscopic surgery, microsurgery, or embolization to fix this and get back to my active life? What's the best option for grade 1 varicocele?
Given your Grade 1 varicocele symptoms, which include testicle shrinkage, reduced penis size, erectile dysfunction, pain, and suspected low testosterone, a surgical intervention might be beneficial. While some doctors may initially suggest observation for Grade 1 varicoceles, the progression of your symptoms suggests that surgery could improve your quality of life and address potential long-term fertility issues.

I've had a burning sensation when peeing ever since my C-section and catheter removal six years ago, but my cystoscopy showed everything was normal. What could be causing this ongoing issue?
A persistent burning sensation when peeing after a C-section and catheter removal, even after a normal cystoscopy, could be due to several factors, including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, urethral stricture, or chronic inflammation related to the surgery. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the cause and appropriate treatment
