I've had a hernia on the left side of my groin for a while, and recently noticed my spermatocele in the upper scrotum has gotten bigger. The hernia has been a bit painful the last few days, and the spermatocele seems to have grown around the same time. Could the hernia be causing the spermatocele to increase in size? If I get hernia surgery, will that help with the spermatocele too? Are there any non-surgical treatments for spermatocele that might help?

I'm wondering if having 34 pus cells per high-power field in my urine is something to be concerned about. Everything else on my report seems normal, but do I need treatment for this? Would love your insight.

The presence of 3-4 PUS (pus) cells per high power field (HPF) in urine is generally considered mild and can occur due to factors like urinary tract irritation or a minor infection. Since the rest of your report is normal, it may not require treatment, but it's always a good idea to monitor for any symptoms like pain or discomfort, and follow up with your doctor if needed.

My foreskin is really tight and I'm not sure if I need surgery for it. Can a video consultation help figure that out or should I go see a doctor in person?

circumcision is advised.

I'm curious if eating raw garlic on an empty stomach in the morning might help with erection issues and premature ejaculation. Have you heard of this working for anyone, and is it something worth trying?

Consuming raw garlic on an empty stomach may have some health benefits due to its potential to improve blood circulation, but there is limited scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness in treating erectile dysfunction (ED) or premature ejaculation (PE). For more effective treatment, it's important to consult a healthcare provider to identify underlying causes and explore appropriate therapies.
