Yes, there are several nonsurgical options to treat an enlarged prostate (60mm). These include medications and procedures like Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE), GreenLight laser therapy, and UroLift. Medications can help relax the prostate and bladder muscles, while PAE and laser therapy can reduce the prostate's size

My husband has been diagnosed with a varicocele and his sperm count is low. We're trying to conceive but having trouble. The doctor mentioned surgery as an option but we're wondering if there are other treatments that don't involve surgery. Can you look at his test reports and suggest what we should do next?

I noticed a lump in my left testicle and after looking it up online I think it might be varicocele It doesn't hurt but feels uncomfortable Do I really need surgery for this and if so how long can I wait before getting it treated Im 22 and a bit worried about what to do next

Any time you find a lump in your testicle or scrotum, you should have it checked by your doctor as soon as possible. However, if the lump you're feeling is in fact a varicocele, it likely won't cause pain. While varicocele pain is not common, it can occur, especially as the varicocele becomes larger.
