Question 1

I've been diagnosed with Grade 2 Varicocele and have low sperm count with poor motility. My urologist recommended IVF/ICSI since surgery might not help much. Is there any other way to improve sperm motility naturally or through other treatments?

Accepted Answer

only grade 3 require sx.

Question 2

I'm experiencing a lot of sensitivity on the head of my penis, to the point where touching or massaging it is really uncomfortable. This is affecting my sex life because it's causing me to ejaculate too quickly. When I'm erect, touching it is almost unbearable. Do you have any advice on how I can manage this sensitivity?

Accepted Answer

refer to gynecologist

Question 3

I'm really starting to worry about this sharp pain in my lower left abdomen that spreads towards my groin. The ultrasound showed a 5.9 mm stone in my left mid ureter, around the L5S1 level, and there's some mild hydronephrosis in my left kidney with the upper ureter being dilated. A urologist suggested urgent ureteroscopy, but I decided to try some home remedies instead. After about ten days, I had another ultrasound and it seems like the stone is now in the lower ureter just below where the iliac vessels cross, but there's still mild hydronephrosis and this proximal hydroureter situation going on. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible and would prefer to try medication. Is that a viable option, or should I prepare for the ureteroscopy?

Accepted Answer

Severe mouth ulcers can be painful and frustrating. Given your current treatment, here are some additional suggestions:

*Additional Remedies*

1. *Topical anesthetics*: Apply a topical anesthetic like Orajel or Lidocaine to numb the area and reduce pain.
2. *Antimicrobial mouthwash*: Use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine to reduce bacterial growth and promote healing.
3. *Aloe vera gel*: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
4. *Vitamin C supplements*: Take vitamin C supplements to boost your immune system and promote collagen synthesis.

*Dietary Changes*

1. *Soft food diet*: Stick to a soft food diet to minimize irritation and discomfort.
2. *Avoid spicy and acidic foods*: Avoid consuming spicy, acidic, or sharp foods that can irritate the ulcer.
3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist and promote healing.

*Medical Consultation*

If your mouth ulcer doesn't show signs of improvement within the next 2-3 days, consult your doctor or a dentist for further evaluation and treatment. They may prescribe additional medications or treatments to promote healing.

I'm really worried about something that happened recently. My friend accidentally hit me really hard in the testicles, and it hurt a lot. Do you think this could affect my sperm count? If so, how much? I'm not sure what to do next and could really use some guidance.

Any temprorary injury has less chances to have effect on sperm count. If you have any swelling or severe pain or redness kindly consult Doctor.
