I've been diagnosed with bilateral grade 1 varicocele and the meds aren't helping with the pain in my left testicle especially when lying down. When should I consider varicocelectomy and what's the best type of surgery for this condition?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If pain persists despite medication and is specifically exacerbated when lying down, consider varicocelectomy, especially if it's affecting fertility or quality of life. Microscopic or laparoscopic varicocelectomy are the preferred surgical options, offering potential benefits like less pain, faster recovery, and improved fertility

I've been having this weird leg pain, mostly in my right leg, and it happens right before I need to pee. The pain goes away once I've urinated. What might be causing this?
The leg pain before urinating, especially in the right leg, could be related to various factors, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones or nerve compression; however, a possible cause is also obturator nerve compression or irritation, which can radiate pain to the leg, especially before urinating, and relief after passing urine.

Alpha-blocker drug therapy is usually the first step in treating bladder neck obstruction. Alpha-blockers, such as tamsulosin or alfuzosin, can help to relax the bladder muscles. A second type of medication, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, may also be prescribed to treat bladder neck obstruction.
