I'm dealing with a varicocele and I'm wondering if I can still go to the gym and continue working out. Could you let me know what to expect with exercises and whether they could affect my condition?

Not all varicoceles require surgery. Surgery has the potential to cause testicular damage.....
However, the primary treatment of varicoceles is surgery and indications include:
Pain....infertility ...To prevent testicular atrophy..... All methods involve ligation of veins to prevent abnormal blood flow. The recurrence rate is usually less than 10%.... Consult urologist......

View allI've had a 5mm kidney stone on the left side for the past 3 months and medicines haven't worked. What surgery or treatment can help remove it quickly?
For a 5mm kidney stone that hasn't passed with conservative measures, several surgical and minimally invasive procedures can be used for quick removal. These include shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. While a 5mm stone can sometimes pass on its own, prolonged discomfort or complications may warrant intervention.

I'm experiencing this light pain in my groin area and sometimes it feels like tingling or numbness around my inner thighs and below the testicles. It's kind of like ants are running in that area. It happens randomly, but I've noticed it gets worse when I'm sitting in the office with the AC on. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Your symptoms might be related to posture, nerve compression, or muscle strain, but if they persist or worsen, it's important to seek medical advice to rule out other conditions such as hernia or neurological issues. Try adjusting your sitting habits, stretching regularly, and monitoring any changes in symptoms.

I've been feeling this light but uncomfortable pain in my testicles and lower abdomen for the past 56 days. I'm not sure what's causing it, and it's starting to worry me. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?
The persistent light pain in your testicles and lower abdomen could be due to various reasons such as epididymitis, orchitis, or a urinary tract infection; consider consulting a urologist or a primary care physician for a proper evaluation, and in the meantime, apply warm compresses to the area, avoid strenuous activities, and monitor for worsening symptoms or accompanying signs like fever, swelling, or discharge.
