I've been diagnosed with grade 2 varicocele and have some pain in my testes, especially when walking. My doctor said surgery isn't needed since it's grade 2, but I'm still feeling uncomfortable. Should I get a second opinion or is it okay to manage it without surgery?

It's reasonable to seek a second opinion if you're experiencing discomfort despite your doctor's assessment that surgery isn't necessary for a grade 2 varicocele. While conservative management (like pain relievers and scrotal support) is often sufficient for mild cases, persistent pain warrants further evaluation. A second opinion can offer different perspectives and treatment options, including potentially exploring embolization, a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure

I'm thinking about getting circumcised because my foreskin is becoming an issue when I'm trying to clean my penis. Do you think this is a good idea?
Circumcision can be a good choice for some men, especially if there are ongoing issues with hygiene or foreskin-related problems such as phimosis. Consulting with a urologist is the best course of action to help you make an informed decision tailored to your specific needs and concerns.
