I've had varicocele surgery and I'm worried about long-term effects could it cause erection problems or other issues down the line? What should I expect after recovery?

Varicocele surgery can improve sexual function and reduce the risk of infertility, but it doesn't guarantee perfect recovery. While some men experience improved erectile function after surgery, others may still struggle with erectile dysfunction, according to research cited by Cleveland Clinic. After surgery, you should expect a period of recovery, potentially including pain, swelling, and bruising, which typically resolves within a few weeks

I've noticed that after ejaculation, I often feel the urge to urinate, but it's hard to get started. Once I do, the urine stream seems pretty narrow. When I'm not dealing with this, everything flows normally, though sometimes it's like the stream sprays unexpectedly. What could be causing this?

I've been experiencing a burning sensation when I pee and I've also noticed semen leakage during urination. I already had my urine tested, but the results came back normal. I'm wondering what might be causing these symptoms and what I should do next. Could it be something serious?

Burning sensation in urine and semen leakage while urinating can be indicative of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Since your urine test did not show any abnormalities, I would recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat a possible infection. Additionally, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day to help with the burning sensation. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any infection. If symptoms persist, further evaluation may be needed.
