View allI've been told I have a left varicocele grade 2 or 3 with some mild reflux. My sperm count and motility are low too. What treatment options are available for this? I'm really curious which one might be the best for me, and if it could help improve my sperm count and motility.
Left varicocele grade 2 or 3 with mild reflux, low sperm count, and low motility can be treated with medication or surgery. The best treatment for varicocele with low sperm count and motility is typically surgical repair of the varicocele, known as varicocelectomy. This procedure can improve sperm count and motility by reducing testicular temperature and improving blood flow to the testes. Medication options include pain relief medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. However, for low sperm count and motility, medications like Clomiphene or Letrozole can be prescribed to help increase sperm production. Additionally, antioxidants like Coenzyme Q10 or Vitamin E may also be recommended to improve sperm quality. It is important to consult with a urologist to determine the most suitable treatment option for your specific case.

I've been dealing with this issue where my foreskin sticks to the glans, and I've noticed there's some whiteness on the glans too. The skin doesn't retract when I have an erection. It used to not retract at all, but I've been gently trying to retract it in warm water, and now it retracts a bit more, but only up to about 25. I really want to avoid circumcision if there's another solution, even if it takes a while. Are there any topical creams or treatments you could recommend?

I recently had protected vaginal sex with a prostitute, and I'm wondering if there's any risk of contracting an STI even though I used a condom the entire time. Are there specific tests you'd recommend I take?
