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.

View allI'm 29 and my foreskin is still attached to the head of my penis. I really don't want surgery are there any other ways to fix this? I'm getting married soon and worried it might cause problems in my sex life. Can you suggest the best doctor in Bangalore who can help with this?
It sounds like you're dealing with phimosis, where the foreskin is attached to the head of the penis. While surgery, like circumcision, is a common solution, there are non-surgical options you can explore. Topical steroid creams and stretching exercises, sometimes combined, can help loosen the foreskin, and there are also home remedies like using coconut oil for lubrication during stretching. If you'd like to explore these options, consult with a urologist or a general surgeon specializing in men's health in Bangalore

I'm really worried about my dad. He had an abdomen scan and the results mentioned grade 1 prostatomegaly. What does that actually mean? Should we be concerned or is it something common? Could you help me understand this a bit more?
Grade 1 prostatomegaly indicates a mildly enlarged prostate (1-30% enlargement). It's generally not serious, but requires monitoring to prevent progression to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. Consult a urologist for guidance.
