I've been struggling with low sperm motility (10-30) and bilateral varicocele grade 1 for five years, which is why we haven't been able to conceive. I've been taking Lineatormaxosal with coenzyme Q10 for two years, but my urologist now recommends varicocelectomy. I'm unsure which surgery would be better open varicocele ligation or laparoscopic. What are the pros and cons of each?

I've noticed that after I eat really spicy foods and then go to the bathroom, it feels like it burns and there's some pain when I pee. Is this something I should be worried about?

Could be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). I recommend taking an over-the-counter medication called AZO Urinary Pain Relief to help alleviate the burning sensation and pain. You can also drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really concerned because the frenulum on my penis seems to be partially torn, and now I don't experience the same level of pleasure or sensitivity as I used to during orgasms. There's no bleeding, just a bit of pain. I'm wondering what steps I should take and which type of doctor would be best to consult about this issue.

The torn frenulum can lead to decreased pleasure and sensitivity during orgasm. You can use a topical anesthetic cream containing Lidocaine to help with the pain. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen. It is advisable to consult a Urologist for further evaluation and management.
