I've had a hydrocele in my left testis for the past 4 years and the size hasn't changed but for the last month there's been very mild pain. Doctors suggest surgery but I'd prefer not to go that route. Is there any effective homeopathy or ayurvedic treatment that can help with this condition

While homeopathy and Ayurveda offer alternative approaches, there's limited scientific evidence to support their efficacy in treating hydroceles definitively. Conventional medical treatment, such as surgery (hydrocelectomy), is the generally recommended approach when hydroceles cause significant pain, discomfort, or complications

Question

I've been diagnosed with grade 2 varicocele and have some pain in my testes, especially when walking. My doctor said surgery isn't needed since it's grade 2, but I'm still feeling uncomfortable. Should I get a second opinion or is it okay to manage it without surgery?

Question

I'm dealing with 34 kidney stones spread across both my kidneys, each about 4 to 5 mm in size. I'm considering taking Cystone to help with this, but I'm not sure if that's the right approach. How should I go about it if it's recommended? What dosage and time frame would be best for something like this?

Question

My left testicle hangs much lower than my right one and sometimes feels like it's burning. I've heard about bell clapper deformity causing testicular torsion and I'm worried because I also have bilateral grade 1 varicocele. Could this deformity be why my left testicle hangs differently? Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with medications?
