I've had varicocele for about a year now and it's really affecting my daily life - can't sit comfortably or ride without pain kicking in sometimes. Is there any way to manage this or get rid of it without needing surgery? What would you suggest for relief?

Varicocele management without surgery includes scrotal support and anti-inflammatory meds; surgery for severe cases.

I've been diagnosed with multiple mild hydroureteronephrosis caused by a 7.1 mm stone in my upper ureter. There are also two stones in my right kidney (4.9 mm and 6.9 mm) and multiple stones in my left kidney with the largest being 4.7 mm and 2.2 mm. What should my next steps be? Can this be treated with just medications or will I need surgery?

Given the combination of stones and mild hydronephrosis, a multi-pronged approach is likely needed. The 7.1 mm stone in the ureter is likely to require medical or surgical intervention, while the smaller kidney stones might be managed medically, followed by a more targeted approach if necessary.

I've been having some issues during sex where I come out really quickly when I try to insert, but if I don't attempt to insert, I can stay erect for a long time. I'm also a bit unsure about if there are any specific positions that might help with this. Any advice on what might be going on or what I could try?

It sounds like you may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend trying Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg about 1 hour before sexual activity. This can help improve blood flow to the penis and maintain an erection. As for positions, it's best to experiment and find what is most comfortable and pleasurable for you and your partner. Remember to consult a specialist before starting any new medication.

I've been feeling a burning sensation when I pee, and it's there even when I'm not using the bathroom. I keep feeling like I need to go all the time. This has been going on for the past couple of days. What could be causing this?

You may have a urinary tract infection (UTI). I recommend taking antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Nitrofurantoin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine to help relieve the burning sensation during urination. Remember to drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection.
