I've been having mild but constant pain and heaviness in my left testicle and was recently diagnosed with Grade 1 Varicocele. Do I need surgery for this or are there other options to manage it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For Grade 1 varicocele, which is a mild form with small, dilated veins, surgery is often not necessary unless it's causing significant pain or fertility issues. In most cases, non-surgical management like ice packs, pain medication, and supportive underwear can help manage symptoms. If pain persists, or if fertility is affected, surgery (varicocelectomy) might be recommended

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He had an abdomen scan and the results mentioned grade 1 prostatomegaly. What does that actually mean? Should we be concerned or is it something common? Could you help me understand this a bit more?
Grade 1 prostatomegaly indicates a mildly enlarged prostate (1-30% enlargement). It's generally not serious, but requires monitoring to prevent progression to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. Consult a urologist for guidance.

I'm a bit worried about some results I got from an ultrasound. It mentioned something called hydronephrosis on the right side, but it says the corticomedullary differentiation is okay on both sides. It also notes that the cortical parenchymal thickness is normal. There's a small calculus, like 9 mm, in the lower part of my left kidney. I'm not really sure what all this means. Should I be concerned about the hydronephrosis or the stone? Could this lead to something serious?
That Hydronephrosis could be due to Renal calculus and 9mm stone is significant and needs surgery,visit Urologist for appropriate management and also consume more water
