I'm 25 and have been diagnosed with varicocele is there any way to treat it without surgery? I've attached my report and really want to explore non-surgical options if possible. What would you recommend?

Yes, it's possible to manage a varicocele without surgery, especially if it's mild and not causing fertility issues. Non-surgical options include lifestyle changes, ice packs, over-the-counter pain relievers, and a procedure called embolization.

Question

My wife has a 12 mm stone in her left kidney and feels mild pain daily. Can this be treated with medicine or does she need surgery?

I'm experiencing a tingling sensation in my penile nerves, but I haven't had any trauma, and my blood reports came back negative. Could this be due to frequent or hardcore masturbation? I also feel a burning sensation at the tip of my penis after peeing, but it happens only if I watched porn before. Is there a way this could heal naturally? I'm really depressed about this situation. I've been prescribed tricyclic antidepressants by my doctor for 3 months, but its been 4 months now, and I only took them for 2 months. Can these meds help with my issue, or do you have any other suggestions? I'm looking for advice on what steps to take next.
