I've been feeling this odd heat in one of my testicles for the last couple of days, almost like a mild inflammation, and it's starting to worry me. Could you let me know what's going on?

It sounds like you might be experiencing mild inflammation or discomfort in your testicle. This could be due to various causes like infection, inflammation, or injury. I recommend seeing a doctor for a proper evaluation to rule out conditions like epididymitis or orchitis and to get the appropriate treatment.

My left kidney has a blockage near the ureter, and doctors think it might be endometriosis, but they can't pinpoint the exact cause. We're still trying to figure out the final diagnosis before surgery. Is surgery the only option for this kind of blockage? I'd really appreciate some clarity on what else could be done.

While surgery is often the primary treatment for ureteral endometriosis, it's not always the first or only option. Before surgery, doctors may consider other approaches, such as ureteral stents, to help manage the blockage and protect the kidney.

I've noticed there's blood in my semen and it's got me a bit worried. I did a urine culture, semen analysis, and semen culture; everything came back negative except they found pus cells between 20 to 25 in the semen analysis. Is this something I should be concerned about, like an infection, or is it something normal?

Pus cells found in semen analysis indicate the presence of infection. To treat this infection, you can take antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
