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

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.

I have a grade 2 varicocele but my semen report is normal can it heal on its own? Does icing actually help with the discomfort? If I go for surgery, will it affect my penile function in any way?
Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm married for a year now, and we're thinking about having kids. But I've been struggling because I haven't ejaculated even once in the past year. I also lose my erection when the vagina gets wet, and it feels like there's no hold during intercourse. I'm really confused about what's going on. Could it be because I haven't been circumcised? I'm looking for some advice.
You may be experiencing erectile dysfunction and difficulty with ejaculation. Circumcision is unlikely to be the cause of these issues. I recommend you consult with a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions. In the meantime, you can try medication like Viagra (sildenafil) to help with erectile dysfunction. Additionally, you can consider using medications like Clomiphene to improve sperm production and ejaculation.
