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

I recently got married and whenever I try to have sex with my wife, the skin on my penis hurts because it hasn't separated properly. I don't want to remove all the skin, just the top part that's attached to the penis. What would be the cost of that? What should I do, and if there's surgery required, how much would it cost?
It sounds like you may have a condition called **phimosis** or tight foreskin. A minor procedure like a **frenuloplasty** or partial circumcision can address this without removing the full skin. I recommend consulting a urologist for an evaluation. Costs can vary but are typically around 10,000-30,000 in most clinics, depending on the procedure and location.
