My 73-year-old father has phimosis, and his urologist recommended circumcision mainly for hygiene and to prevent future infections. He's had diabetes for 26 years but it's well-controlled (HBA1C 6.6), and his BP is stable. The doctor suggested conventional surgery under local anesthesia but didn't mention laser surgery. I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of both methods conventional cutting vs laser especially for someone his age with diabetes. Which one would be safer or more recommended in his case?

View allI've been having this throbbing pain in my groin that starts from the lower right side of my abdomen and radiates down to my scrotum. It began with intense lower back pain on the right side, spreading to my thighs and then the groin sometimes it's so bad I can't stand straight. I had hernia surgery in the same spot when I was 6 could this be another hernia or something else?
Groin pain can sometimes happen due to medical emergencies like appendicitis, testicular torsion, ovarian torsion or a strangulated hernia (a hernia that's lost its blood supply). Seek emergency care if you have groin pain along with any of these symptoms: Nausea or vomiting.

I have a grade 1 varicocele on the left side and I'm a bit worried. What are the best remedies for this? Are there any Ayurvedic medicines that can help or is surgery the only option? Also, does doing yoga make any difference in managing this condition?
For a Grade 1 varicocele, surgery is generally not the first line of treatment, but it is the most effective long-term option if symptoms worsen. While surgery is often considered the definitive treatment, there are various other approaches that can help manage the condition, including Ayurvedic medicines and yoga, along with lifestyle modifications.

I'm on medication with three drugs: veltamf, bacstol 200, and benocide forte, because of an infection I've had for five days now. Since I started taking them, I've noticed I can't ejaculate. Is this a side effect of the medications or is it something else I should be worried about?
it is a sideeffect of the medicine you are taking , as soon as you stop that medicine your problems might get reduced
