Is there a way to treat varicocele without surgery? I've been having pain in my scrotum and already got a scan done but I'm worried about surgical options

Yes, there are non-surgical ways to treat varicoceles, especially if the condition is not causing significant pain or fertility issues. Varicocele embolization, a minimally invasive procedure, is a common alternative to surgery. Lifestyle changes, pain management, and monitoring can also be effective options.

I'm really worried because my mom, who was just diagnosed with kidney stones last Saturday, hasnt had a bowel movement since then and now it's Tuesday night. I understand that the medication shes on can cause constipation, and we tried giving her prunes, other high-fiber foods, and even some magnesium citrate, but nothing seems to work. Is there anything else we can do? What would you suggest to help her with this issue?

Encourage her for consuming high fibre diet and plenty of water,you can try with Laxative suspensions like LOOZ syrup 10 ml at bed time.

I've been dealing with some mild pain and discomfort in my perineal area for the past month. It kind of feels like something's trying to push its way out, and there's this sensation of stretching inside. I went to a urologist, but he suggested I see a neurologist instead. What could be going on with me?
