What are the non-surgical treatment options for grade 23 varicocele and are there any medicines that can actually cure it without needing surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a Grade 2 or 3 varicocele, non-surgical options like embolization (blocking the affected veins) and lifestyle changes are available, but no medications can cure it. Embolization is often preferred for its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery. Lifestyle changes, such as wearing supportive underwear, can help manage symptoms

View allMy penis has been bleeding when I pee, and I'm really worried. About ten days ago, I had really intense sex twice, and there was bleeding on that day, February 10th. The bleeding stopped that day, but after that, I just felt a lot of pain in my penis. Then yesterday, out of nowhere, there was bleeding again, especially at the end when I was trying to urinate, and it was super painful. I couldnt handle it at all. I'm really stressed out about what's going on. Could you suggest what I should do?
The bleeding and pain during urination, especially after intense sexual activity, may indicate a urethral injury, urethritis, or a sexually transmitted infection (STI); immediately seek medical attention from a urologist or a healthcare provider to rule out any serious conditions; in the meantime, drink plenty of water, avoid sex, and apply a warm compress to the affected area to alleviate discomfort; delaying medical attention can lead to further complications, so prioritize your health and seek help as soon as possible.

I'm 24 and I've been masturbating for the past six years. Lately, I've noticed that the shaft of my penis isn't as soft as it used to be. There's also this numb and itchy feeling that comes with it, and its been worrying me. I stopped masturbating for a bit to see if things would get better, but I haven't noticed any changes. Should I be talking to a dermatologist or a urologist about this?
That could be due to fungal infection usually,visit your dermatologist for evaluating any active infection and appropriate management,you can use intimate moisturizer.

Four years ago I had a ureteroscopy to remove a 4-5mm blockage stone in my ureter. Now I'm having pain on my left side and my recent ultrasound showed a 2.5mm stone in the mid calyx of my right kidney and a 2.9mm stone in the lower calyx of my left kidney with mild pcs dilation. I really don't want another surgery are there any other treatment options for these stones? What would you suggest?
Given your history and the current situation with 2.5mm and 2.9mm stones, the most likely recommendation is to wait and monitor the stones and your pain levels. Smaller stones often pass naturally, and observing them is a good first step. If the pain becomes severe or you have signs of infection, further intervention might be necessary
