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.

View allI'm noticing that my foreskin and glans have become red, and sometimes there's a bit of irritation on the foreskin, with a burning-like feeling. Right now, I'm using coconut oil during the day and Nizral cream at night. I'm wondering if I should consider getting circumcised to solve this issue, or if there's something else I could try first. Any advice?

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with erectile dysfunction for the past year, and it's been affecting my life in a big way. The doctor gave me some medicine to try, but I'm a bit anxious about whether it's safe and how effective it might be. Can you explain what I should expect from the treatment and if there are any side effects to watch out for?
It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.

I'm 22, and I've noticed that while my penis foreskin retracts normally, it doesn't pull back when I'm erect. The tip stays covered, and I'm not sure what this means or what I should do next. Could you help me figure this out?
When the foreskin of the penis can't be pulled back over the head of the penis, it's called phimosis.consult general surgeon
