I've had varicocele in my left testicle for a while but now I'm noticing similar swelling on the right side too - are there any effective homeopathy or ayurvedic treatments that can help without needing surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For varicocele, homeopathic or Ayurvedic treatments may provide symptom relief but surgery is the most definitive treatment, especially if symptoms worsen or fertility is impacted.

View allI'm experiencing nocturnal emissions around 23 times a month, and I think it might be linked to gas in my rectum. What can I do to address this issue?
Nocturnal emissions (nighttime ejaculation) occurring 2-3 times a month are generally considered normal and not a cause for concern. However, if it's linked to discomfort like gas in the rectum, improving digestion by managing your diet, staying hydrated, and incorporating regular physical activity can help. If the issue persists or worsens, consulting a healthcare provider for further evaluation would be beneficial.

My foreskin won't pull back all the way it only goes down a little before it starts hurting. I really don't want surgery, so what else can I do to fix this? It's really bothering me and affecting my daily life.
Paraphimosis is a medical emergency in which you can't draw your foreskin back down over the head of your penis. It can happen if you have a partially circumcised or uncircumcised penis. You must get treatment as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage to your penis.

I have an 18 mm kidney stone on the right side and an 11 mm one on the left. Can homeopathy really help remove stones this big or would I need surgery? What kind of procedure would be best for stones this size?
An 18 mm kidney stone usually requires surgical intervention for removal, as it's unlikely to pass naturally. Several minimally invasive procedures are commonly used, including ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy), RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery), and URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy). PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) may also be considered if other methods are not suitable.
