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

I had kidney stone surgery before and now there's a 10mm stone again causing occasional pain sometimes it's fine what treatment options do I have this is really urgent
For a 10mm kidney stone that's causing occasional pain, and with a history of previous surgery, treatment options include medical expulsive therapy (MET) with medications to help the stone pass, or a procedure like ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) to break up the stone with a laser. If the pain is severe or the stone is not passing, a more invasive procedure like percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) might be considered

I'm 24 and I've been masturbating a lot, almost like it's become a habit I can't break. Lately, I've been feeling really low and weak because of it. I've noticed that the nerves on my penis are super visible, and I constantly feel sensations there, even when I'm just sitting around doing nothing. It's kind of embarrassing to say, but I've been needing to urinate like 23 times within a span of just 4 hours, which is really affecting my daily life. This whole situation is really distracting me. What should I do?
