I've got a sore red spot on the head of my penis, and I can mostly see it when I pull the foreskin back. I've been using a ring guard, but it's healing really slowly. Any suggestions on what medicine I can use to speed up the healing? I'm starting to worry a bit.

I've had a left side varicocele for about a year now and need microsurgery but most doctors in Maharashtra are suggesting open surgery instead. Do they use any magnification during open surgery or is microsurgery the better option here? Also, can you recommend specialists in Maharashtra who perform microsurgery for varicocele?

Microsurgical varicocelectomy, which uses magnification, is generally considered the preferred option for varicocele treatment due to its lower complication rates and higher success rates in preserving testicular function and fertility compared to open surgery. While open surgery may involve some magnification (loupes), it doesn't offer the same level of precision and visualization as a microscope used in microsurgery
