My semen analysis is normal but I have varicocele and the doctor said surgery isn't needed. I also have a lot of chest fat and was told it's gynecomastia. Could the varicocele be causing this? Are there any natural ways to reduce the gynecomastia without surgery?

My right ureter is a bit dilated in the middle and there's a 7mm stone in the lowest part. Do I really need surgery for this or can it pass with just medicines? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.

A 7mm kidney stone in the lower ureter, especially with associated dilation, likely won't pass on its own and surgery may be needed. While medications can help with pain and potentially aid passage, they are not a definitive solution for a 7mm stone.

I'm really worried because I've been having issues with frequent urination and my testes are really painful. I recently had some urine culture tests done, and they came back negative. Could it still be possible that I have chlamydia, even though the test didn't show anything? I'm trying to understand what else could be causing these symptoms.

Yes, it is possible to have chlamydia even if your urine culture test is negative. Chlamydia is often diagnosed through a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) or a DNA probe test rather than a urine culture. Since you are experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination and testicular pain, it is advisable to get tested specifically for chlamydia using a NAAT or DNA probe test. If diagnosed with chlamydia, the treatment involves a course of antibiotics such as Azithromycin or Doxycycline, as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
