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'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've had varicocele surgery and I'm worried about long-term effects could it cause erection problems or other issues down the line? What should I expect after recovery?
Varicocele surgery can improve sexual function and reduce the risk of infertility, but it doesn't guarantee perfect recovery. While some men experience improved erectile function after surgery, others may still struggle with erectile dysfunction, according to research cited by Cleveland Clinic. After surgery, you should expect a period of recovery, potentially including pain, swelling, and bruising, which typically resolves within a few weeks
