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?

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'm a bit worried because I've been noticing some changes down there. It seems like my penis has gotten smaller, especially when it's not erect. I think it might be because I've been masturbating quite a lot. Can you tell me what I might be able to do to get it back to its normal size?

Try using a topical cream containing Alprostadil. Apply a pea-sized amount of Alprostadil cream directly to the penis twice daily. Additionally, you can take Tadalafil tablets once daily at a dose of 5mg. These medications can help improve blood flow to the penis and promote natural size restoration. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
