I've been diagnosed with varicocele and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure whether to go for open surgery or embolization which one has better recovery and fewer risks
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Varicocele embolization typically offers a shorter recovery time and fewer risks compared to open varicocele surgery. Embolization, a minimally invasive procedure, has a recovery period of 1-2 days, while open surgery requires 2-4 weeks of recovery. Additionally, embolization has a lower risk of complications like testicular loss, hydrocele formation, and nerve injury compared to surgery.

View allI'm really worried about something and could use some advice. If my penis only goes about 2 inches inside the vagina, is that enough to cause pregnancy? I also have issues with penis erection and premature ejaculation, and it's causing me a lot of stress. What should I do?
A penetration of at least 4-6 inches is generally considered sufficient for sperm to reach the cervix. I have some sexual problems with penis erection and premature ejaculation. For erectile dysfunction, you can try using Viagra (Sildenafil). For premature ejaculation, you can try using Priligy (Dapoxetine). Make sure to consult a specialist before starting any new medication.

I have an 18mm stone in my renal tube but haven't had any issues for a year can it be treated with just medicine or is surgery necessary? How safe is surgery and what would you recommend in my case?
Kidney stones should be removed by surgery if they cause repeated infections in the urine or because they are blocking the flow of urine from the kidney. Today, surgery usually involves small or no incisions (cuts), minor pain and minimal time off work.
