I've been diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele and my semen analysis shows moderate oligoasthenozoospermia. Should I go for varicocele surgery and if so, which method works best? Will it help improve my sperm count and motility
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, for a grade 3 varicocele with moderate oligoasthenozoospermia, varicocele surgery is generally recommended as it can improve sperm count and motility, and increase the chances of natural pregnancy. Surgical ligation or microvascular embolization are the most common surgical methods and both can be effective.

I'm having some problems that are really concerning me. Firstly, during sex, I notice that my penis seems to lose its hardness and takes quite some time to get firm again. Secondly, I'm worried about the size of my penis because the circumference seems small to me. Also, I'm not sure if it's normal that it bends downward instead of being straight. Could you let me know what might be causing these issues or what I might be able to do?

I'm having this issue where every time I get an erection or after having sex, my penis seems to crack at one particular spot. It heals after a few days, but then it just happens again the next time. Is there any cream or solution I could use to prevent this from happening?
The recurring cracks on your penis, particularly in one position, during or after erection, may be caused by a condition called penile fissures, which can be painful and may lead to bleeding or infection; applying a topical cream or ointment, such as petroleum jelly, aloe vera gel, or a fragrance-free lubricant, may help soothe and protect the affected area
