Lignocaine hydrochloride gel can be used to help with premature ejaculation by desensitizing the area, but it's essential to use it as per the instructions on the packaging. Apply a small amount to the tip of the penis about 15-20 minutes before intercourse, but avoid using too much to prevent numbness in your partner. If you're facing ongoing issues, consider consulting a healthcare provider for further guidance.

I have a Grade 1 left varicocele measuring 3.1 mm and my sperm count is okay but motility and morphology are low. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments I can try?

While surgery (varicocelectomy) is a common treatment for varicoceles, especially when they cause infertility or significant pain, it's not always the only option, particularly for a Grade 1 varicocele measuring 3.1 mm. Lifestyle modifications and monitoring can be effective for mild cases.
