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 having some concerns and I'm hoping you can help. A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and since then, I've noticed a 0.5 inch lump on my right testicle, which is also a bit larger than my left one. There's nothing like that on my left testicle. Could this be epididymitis, or is it something else I should be worried about?

_Lumps on the Body: Possible Causes and Next Steps_ I understand your concern, especially with your plans to join the army. Lumps on the body can be caused by various factors, and it's essential to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. _Possible Causes of Lumps:_ 1. _Lipoma_: A benign growth of fat cells, usually soft and movable. 2. _Sebaceous cyst_: A benign cyst filled with a cheesy, fatty material. 3. _Abscess_: A pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection. 4. _Lymphadenopathy_: Enlarged lymph nodes, which can be caused by infection, inflammation, or cancer. 5. _Hematoma_: A collection of blood outside of blood vessels, often caused by injury. _Cancer Risk:_ While it's natural to worry about cancer, most lumps are benign. However, it's crucial to consult a doctor to rule out any potential cancer risks. _Next Steps:_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with a primary care physician or a dermatologist. 2. _Physical examination_: The doctor will examine the lumps and assess their size, shape, texture, and mobility. 3. _Diagnostic tests_: The doctor may order imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI) or a biopsy to determine the cause of the lumps. 4. _Treatment_: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include surgery, antibiotics, or observation. _Army Recruitment:_ Once you've received a diagnosis and treatment plan, you can discuss your eligibility for army recruitment with your doctor. They can provide guidance on any necessary documentation or clearance. Stay calm, and prioritize your health. Consult a doctor as soon as possible to determine the cause of the lumps and receive proper guidance.

I've had this discomfort in the middle of my penis corona for quite a while, and it's really starting to bother me. It's not super painful, but it's irritating enough that I've had to change how I masturbate, and it's been swollen for a long time. I've also noticed that the pain tends to get a bit worse after each time I masturbate. I have had sex before, but that was quite some time ago, long before all this started. What could be going on here? Should I be worried about this swelling and irritation?
It sounds like you might have inflammation or irritation of the penis, potentially from overuse or unnoticed trauma. To help it heal, try reducing masturbation frequency, avoid tight grips, and keep the area clean and moisturized. If swelling or discomfort persists, please see a doctor to rule out infections or other concerns.
