I've had varicocele in my left testicle for the past 7 years and it's been causing me pain. I'm unmarried and wondering if this can be treated with medication or if I'll need surgery. What are my options?

A varicocelectomy is a surgical procedure that treats severe varicoceles that are painful or affect your fertility. A surgeon who specializes in conditions that affect your urinary system and reproductive system will cut your affected veins and seal off the ends.

I'm experiencing some pain in the area below my waist, especially when I wear a tight belt. The pain isn't constantit's more of a dull ache that comes and goes and seems to affect the whole front area. I'm a bit worried and curious about what might be causing this. Could this be something serious, or is it just from the belt being too tight?

I've been dealing with some intense pain in my lower abdomen ever since I was told I have kidney stones a few days ago. The ultrasound showed a 4mm stone, and my doctor prescribed me meftal spas for the pain, but it's not really working for me. The pain is seriously tough to handle. Is there any other way to manage or stop this pain?

I'm really confused about my recent health diagnoses and I hope you can give me some guidance. I was told I have Herpes simplex igg with a score of 2.78, but I haven't noticed any pimples, scars, or redness anywhere around my genitals or face. However, I've been experiencing tickling sensations in my penis and saw blood in my semen during intercourse. Alongside this, I've been diagnosed with chlamydia and took the meds my doctor prescribed, but I'm still noticing a cloudy liquid discharge from time to time. The burning sensation is gone, but I'm not sure what steps I should take next to deal with herpes. Any advice on how to manage or understand these symptoms better?
