I've been diagnosed with varicocele and my surgeon is recommending surgery but I'm a bit hesitant - does ayurveda offer any effective alternatives or less invasive treatments for this condition
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

View allCan daflon 500 help with venous leakage? I'm really worried and would love some advice on whether it could improve my situation. What do you think?
Daflon 500, which contains a combination of diosmin and hesperidin, is commonly used to improve venous tone and reduce inflammation in conditions like varicose veins or venous insufficiency. While it may help improve circulation and alleviate symptoms, it is not a direct treatment for venous leakage. It's important to consult your doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your condition.

My cousin has a liver stone and we're wondering if robotic surgery could be an option for this. We're based in Delhi and have all the test reports ready. Could you advise if this condition might need robotic surgery and if we should bring the patient along with the reports for a consultation?
Liver stone can be treated by ERCP or laparoscopic/robotic surgery if accessible; bring all reports to GI surgeon in Delhi for confirmation.

I've got a situation that's been on my mind. I ended up having paid sex with a woman who said she wasn't a professional. We used a condom, but later I realized there was a small hole in it. This really got me worried, so I went for an HIVDUO IVth Generation test just to be sure. I had sex on the 17th of March and I got tested on the 19th. The result mentioned that it's non-reactive with a value of 0.32 unit SCO. Can you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?
it detects both HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen .The test you took on March 19th (only 2 days after the possible exposure) is quite early, and it might not have been able to detect HIV infection if it occurred after that exposure. It's generally recommended to retest for HIV at 46 weeks post-exposure for a more reliable result. If you are still concerned about the possibility of HIV, you might be a candidate for PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis). PEP is a treatment regimen that can prevent HIV if started within 72 hours of exposure
