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

View allI've been dealing with some lower back pain, and my doctor prescribed me Zerodol SP to take for two days. I took the pill after eating some fruits and salads, and now I'm a little worried if that might be an issue. Also, I've been on Zifi AZ, which is cefexime and azithromycin, for a urinary tract infection at the same time. Is it okay to take these meds after having fruits and salads, or should I be doing something differently?
No there is no any complication,you can follow your doctors advice,consume more water upto 4L in a day and take adequate rest

Is there a way to treat varicocele without surgery? I've been having pain in my scrotum and already got a scan done but I'm worried about surgical options
Yes, there are non-surgical ways to treat varicoceles, especially if the condition is not causing significant pain or fertility issues. Varicocele embolization, a minimally invasive procedure, is a common alternative to surgery. Lifestyle changes, pain management, and monitoring can also be effective options.

Grade 1 doesnt require surgery .Antibiotics like ceftas 200 mg twice daily ,per orally for about 7 days is advised to the patient.
