I've been told I have a left varicocele grade 2 or 3 with some mild reflux. My sperm count and motility are low too. What treatment options are available for this? I'm really curious which one might be the best for me, and if it could help improve my sperm count and motility.

Left varicocele grade 2 or 3 with mild reflux, low sperm count, and low motility can be treated with medication or surgery. The best treatment for varicocele with low sperm count and motility is typically surgical repair of the varicocele, known as varicocelectomy. This procedure can improve sperm count and motility by reducing testicular temperature and improving blood flow to the testes. Medication options include pain relief medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. However, for low sperm count and motility, medications like Clomiphene or Letrozole can be prescribed to help increase sperm production. Additionally, antioxidants like Coenzyme Q10 or Vitamin E may also be recommended to improve sperm quality. It is important to consult with a urologist to determine the most suitable treatment option for your specific case.

Yes,surgery is the only option.PCNL-percutaneous nephrolithotomy,URSL-uretroscopic lithotripsy and lastly RIRS--retrograde intrarenal surgery here a fexible scope is inserted into the kidney stone is located and fragmented into smaller pieces using a laser technolgy.But URSL is the procedure specifically used for removal of stones in the urethra and ureter by passing a flexxible tube and use of laser and fragmenting the stones and the small stones usually pass through urethra.

I'm getting this weird stomach pain, especially on the lower left side, whenever I wear a belt or tight pants. It's uncomfortable, and if I'm wearing loose pajamas or shorts, the pain doesn't happen. Sometimes there's even a bit of discomfort in the testicle area. This has been going on for a while now, and I'm starting to wonder if it's something I should see a doctor about, or if it might just go away on its own. Any ideas or advice?

It sounds like you might be experiencing pressure-related discomfort, possibly due to a hernia, nerve irritation, or another underlying issue. It's best to consult a doctor to evaluate this, as early treatment can prevent complications. In the meantime, avoid tight clothing.
