Question 1

I've been dealing with a scrotum infection for the past two years. The veins there have swollen and become painful, especially during intimate moments or activities. I've visited numerous doctors, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this, and what should I try next?

Accepted Answer

According to symptoms this is a case of varicocele.There are no drugs to treat or prevent varicoceles. But pain killers (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen) may help with pain. When needed, surgery is the main form of treatment. Embolization (briefly blocking the veins) is a non-surgical treatment option

Question 2

I've been having issues with frequent urination and incomplete emptying of my bladder for years now, and honestly, it's really frustrating. I've seen a urologist and went through all sorts of tests like kidney and abdomen ultrasounds, cystoscopy, blood sugar checks, and everything came back normal. I've also taken different medications for urinary and bladder infections, as recommended by my doctor, but nothing has worked. Lately, I've noticed this white liquid occasionally in my urine at night, and it's freaking me out a bit. I've tried so many things, but I'm not seeing any results. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Consult a urologist again to discuss:
    - Urodynamic tests to assess bladder function
    - Pelvic floor physical therapy
- Consider consulting a nephrologist to rule out kidney issues
- Get tested for:
    - Urine culture and sensitivity
    - Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test (if not done already)
- Lifestyle changes:
    - Practice pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises)
    - Manage fluid intake
    - Avoid irritants like caffeine and spicy foods

Question 3

I'm concerned because when my penis becomes erect, it bends downward, and it's about 5 inches in size. I'm really curious if there's a way to make it straighter and maybe even increase the size. Can you help with this?

Accepted Answer

It's common for the penis to have a slight bend during an erection, and this often doesn't require treatment unless it causes discomfort or affects sexual function. If you're concerned about the bend or size, consider consulting a urologist to rule out any underlying conditions like Peyronie's disease and explore safe options for treatment. As for size, non-surgical methods are limited, and a healthcare professional can guide you on realistic expectations and options.

I've had a hydrocele for 3 years now and I'm really worried about surgery. Is there any other treatment that can fix this without going under the knife? Also if I do get the surgery, is there a chance the hydrocele might come back later?

yes, can come back later on.
