My brother has grade II varicocele in his left testis and deals with mild to severe pain daily The urologist said surgery is only needed if the testis size reduces but can we consider surgery now just for pain relief Are there other ways to manage the pain without surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While surgery (varicocelectomy or embolization) can be considered for pain relief in a grade II varicocele, especially if it's severe and unresponsive to other treatments, it's not always the first choice. Other conservative methods like scrotal support, pain medication, and lifestyle adjustments can be tried first. If pain persists and is significantly impacting quality of life, surgery might be recommended.

View allI have a 16mm stone in my left kidney and a 14mm stone in my right kidney. The urologist is suggesting laparoscopy for the left one but I really don't want surgery. Are there any other options to avoid going under the knife?
For your 16mm kidney stone, there's a good chance you'll need some form of intervention, but surgery isn't always the only option. While laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical option, other non-surgical techniques like shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) might be considered. Your urologist may also recommend retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for larger stones. The best approach will depend on the specific characteristics of your stones and your overall health

Does having agglutination in a semen test mean its harder to get pregnant, and is it something we should be worried about? We've been trying to conceive for about five months now, and I'm a bit concerned about what this might mean for our chances. What should we do next?
The presence of agglutination in a semen analysis may indicate an issue with sperm motility, as it suggests that sperm are clumping together. While this can potentially affect fertility, it is not always a major problem. I recommend consulting a fertility specialist for further evaluation and guidance, as other factors also play a role in conception.

I'm really worried because after ejaculation, I feel incredibly weak. It's like all my energy is drained, and sometimes my left hand or foot gets really shaky or weak. I often get headaches and everything seems blurry. I've noticed this issue even though I don't have sex, and the idea of having sex makes me feel like it would be way worse. I'm genuinely scared about this, especially since I'm not married yet and it makes me scared of relationships. I've stopped masturbating because I'm terrified, and it's starting to affect my work too. There's this constant feeling that I'm losing my core strength or life force with each ejaculation, and it feels like I'm heading towards a collapse or even death. I've been to doctors and had MRI, brain tests, and all basic checks done, and they say everything's normal, but I still feel really weak. Do you have any idea what's going on or any advice on what I could do?
the very basic your need to understand that masturbation is only food for pleasure and stress relief. Apart from that there is no advantage of that. And yea there are side effects of that if you practice it daily like the way you ate feeling now. Just to assure you everyone would feel the same after the process. It should not be practiced not.more than 5 Times a week. This whole thing is letting you down because you're letting it take on you. This is just a part of life which you're thinking it as threat to life nope it isn't that way. And the investigations would be definitely normal because there is nothing to find except the only thought you have in your mind. Take it off and go in with system you'll definitely get relief.
