I'm really worried because my doctor told me to take Ivermectol 12 mg every 4 days for my hydrocele, but I haven't seen any results yet. Should I be concerned that it's not working, or might there be something else I should try?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Ivermectol 12mg is typically used to treat parasitic infections, not hydrocele.
Hydrocele Treatment
- Needle aspiration: A procedure where a needle is inserted to drain the fluid.
- Surgery (hydrocelectomy): A surgical procedure to remove the hydrocele sac.
Ivermectol for Hydrocele
Using Ivermectol for hydrocele treatment is unconventional and may not be effective. Ivermectol is an antiparasitic medication, and hydrocele is a condition characterized by fluid accumulation in the scrotum.
Recommendations
- Consult a urologist: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to discuss alternative treatment options.
- Re-evaluate treatment: Consider needle aspiration or surgery, which are more effective treatments for hydrocele.
- Stop Ivermectol: Discontinue taking Ivermectol, as it may not be addressing the underlying condition.

View allI have a 9.2 mm stone in my left kidney can it pass with medicine or will I need surgery? I'm worried about the size and if it's too big to remove naturally. What are my options?
For larger stones (> 4 mm), medical treatment is often required to enable kidney stones to be passed through the body. Common methods of care include soundwave therapy, surgery, and using a ureteroscope.

I have an 18mm stone in my renal tube but haven't had any issues for a year can it be treated with just medicine or is surgery necessary? How safe is surgery and what would you recommend in my case?
Kidney stones should be removed by surgery if they cause repeated infections in the urine or because they are blocking the flow of urine from the kidney. Today, surgery usually involves small or no incisions (cuts), minor pain and minimal time off work.

I've been diagnosed with bilateral varicocele grade 1 on the right side and grade 2 on the left. Lately, I've noticed my testicles shrinking, along with weaker erections and lower sex drive. I've tried ayurvedic and homeopathic treatments, but I'm not sure if they're helping. What's the best way to treat this? Also, could surgery lead to fertility problems down the line?
For a bilateral varicocele with associated testicular shrinkage, weaker erections, and lower sex drive, the best course of action is to consult a urologist or reproductive endocrinologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan. While surgery is the most common and effective treatment, other options like embolization or lifestyle changes might be considered. Surgery, while generally safe, may have a small risk of impacting fertility, but this is often manageable
