I'm really concerned about my UTI and I really don't want to go on antibiotics if I can help it. Are there any other effective ways to treat this? Also, how can I tell if the infection has spread to my kidneys? I'm not sure what symptoms to look for and it's making me anxious.

View allI was diagnosed with grade 2 varicocele back in 2018 and have been using a supporter regularly since then. Some days I get slight pain in my scrotum, maybe once a month should I consider surgery or is there another way to manage this?
Grade 2 varicocele can be managed conservatively unless pain or infertility occurs—then surgery is advised.

I've been experiencing this weird sensation where it feels like my urine is getting stuck in my urethra. My bladder thickness came out normal in tests, and I had a prevoid volume of 584ml and postvoid of 44ml. The prostate is supposed to be normal at 20.4 grams, but I have noticed there's less pressure when I try to pee in the morning. This has been going on for about 67 years, and even when I had it checked earlier, the doctor said everything seemed fine. He even applied pressure inside my anus, and some liquid came out of my penis, but tests showed no infection. I'm just confused about what's happening. Could you help me understand what might be causing this?
It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms of urinary retention or discomfort, which can sometimes occur without any underlying infection or structural issue, as your previous exams showed normal results. If the sensation persists or worsens, it might be helpful to follow up with a urologist for further evaluation to rule out any other causes, such as pelvic floor dysfunction or nerve issues.
