What's the best surgery option for a grade 3 varicocele and how is open surgery done do they use any magnification during the procedure
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For grade 3 varicocele, microsurgical varicocelectomy is generally considered the best surgical option, offering the highest success rate and lowest risk of complications. Open surgery, specifically microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy, involves making a small incision in the groin area, and the surgeon uses a microscope or loupes (magnifying glasses) to identify and ligate (tie off) the enlarged veins, preserving the testicular artery and lymphatic vessels.

I'm really worried about some issues I've been having recently. About a month and a half ago, I noticed my penis was itching and there was redness, a rash, and accumulated smegma. I'm uncircumcised and after searching online, I thought it might be balanitis. I've been applying coconut oil daily on my foreskin for over a month now, and while the rash, redness, and itchiness have gone, I've still got some cracks and cuts on the tip of my foreskin. I wash it daily, but for the past two weeks, there's been dry skin forming around the foreskin every day, even though I clean it regularly. On top of that, I recently had a really hard stool and now my anus is itchy and swollen. I used coconut oil for the itch, which helped, but the swelling is still there. I'm not sure what's going on with my penis and anus. Should I be washing off this dry skin that forms daily? Also, which type of doctor should I consult for these issues? Are there any home remedies you can suggest to help with these cuts and cracks? I'm really concerned and would appreciate any advice.
Your symptoms may be caused due to dehydration. Increase your fluid intake on a daily basis and improve your genital hygiene by drying yourself well after each wash. Use non-irritant moisturisers and if the problem exacerbates, you should consider visiting a dermatologist.

I'm a 32-year-old male dealing with hydrocele and looking for a doctor near Thane. Can you tell me how long the surgery takes, what the cost might be, and if there are any other treatment options besides surgery?
For adult males, hydroceles often go away on their own within six months. A hydrocele requires treatment only if it gets large enough to cause discomfort or disfigurement. Then it might need to be surgically removed... The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis during general or regional anesthesia..No other treatment are as effective as surgery..Consult Surgeon for further advice...
