Question 1

I'm dealing with a grade 2 varicocele and I'm really into my gym workouts. Is it okay for me to continue going to the gym? Also, are there any specific things I need to watch out for or avoid while exercising? On top of that, are there any medications or treatments I should consider to help reverse or manage this?

Accepted Answer

With Varicocele Grade 2, you can still go to the gym, but take precautions to avoid exacerbating the condition: avoid heavy lifting, bending, or straining, wear supportive underwear or a jockstrap, and take regular breaks to rest and elevate your scrotum; however, consult your doctor or a urologist before starting or continuing exercise, as they may recommend specific exercises or restrictions based on your individual condition; regarding medications, Varicocele often requires surgical treatment, but pain relief medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be prescribed to manage discomfort, and hormone-regulating medications like clomiphene may be considered in some cases, but only under medical supervision.

Question 2

I've had a kidney stone for a year now, and none of the treatments I've tried have worked to remove it. Now the stone from my left kidney is moving into the ureter, and the pain is really bad. Should I consider surgery, or are there other options I could try first?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

Question 3

My 5th grader has phimosis where the skin almost fully covers the head and won't pull back but he can still pee normally. Is surgery or laser treatment the only option or are there other ways to manage this without going that route?

Accepted Answer

circumcision is advised.

I'm masturbating about 46 times a week. Is this okay for my health, or could it cause issues later on, like after I get married? I'm single right now and don't have any health problems, plus I exercise regularly. Should I be worried?
