I've been dealing with a urethral stricture for the last 3 years and have been doing dilation regularly. Now I'm considering surgery what are my options and is it the right time to go for it

Endoscopic urethrotomy.This procedure uses a thin, tubelike tool that has a lens, called a cystoscope. The cystoscope goes into the urethra. Then a tool is put through the cystoscope to remove the stricture or treat it with a laser. This surgical procedure has a faster recovery than do some other procedures.

View allI've noticed that my penis seems smaller in both length and width compared to how it was before, and it feels like it's shrinking over time. Is there any medication or treatment available to help get it back to its previous size?
hey, length of penis remains the same , it will not decrease , don't worry, it attains max length during erection and shrinks afterwards

I recently got a Doppler scrotal scan that showed grade 1 varicocele without reflux on color Doppler. The report says it might need surgery and could progress to grade 2 later. I'm worried about how this could affect my fertility does this mean I might have trouble having kids in the future? Should I consider surgery now or wait? Also, could this impact my decision to get married or stay single?
Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

I've been dealing with a urine infection since this morning. I'm not experiencing much itching or pain, but I feel a constant pressure to pee frequently. There's no intense pain or burning, just a slight burning sensation for a couple of seconds when I actually pass urine. I've been drinking a lot of liquids to help with this. Can you suggest any medicine or remedies since I can't find a doctor nearby right now?
It sounds like a mild urinary tract infection. Continue drinking plenty of water, as this helps flush out bacteria. If symptoms persist or worsen, take a urinary alkalizer like potassium citrate sachets (e.g., Cital) to ease burning. Seek medical advice soon for a proper antibiotic if needed. Rest well!
