I've been a paraplegic since I was 19 and now I'm 34. I heard penile implant surgery might help with erectile dysfunction. Can I talk to a urologist about whether this could work for me and what the process would look like?

View allI have left reanal hydronephrosis with a 7mm ureteric calculus in the lower part and a small 3mm concretion in the lower calyx of my left kidney should I consider medicine or is surgery the better option here
Given the size of the ureteric calculus (7mm) and the presence of hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the better option for your situation. While a 3mm concretion in the lower calyx may be managed medically, the 7mm stone in the ureter and the associated hydronephrosis suggest a need for more definitive treatment.

How long does a circumcision surgery usually take and what's the recovery time like? I'm trying to plan when to get it done and want to know how much rest I'll need afterward. Also, how long does the actual procedure last?
Circumcision takes 20–30 minutes with a 5–7 day recovery; avoid strenuous activity during this time.

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
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.
