Question 1

Hi doctor, Im using steroid cream for phimosis treatment, but Im concerned about the side effects. Can you tell me what to watch out for? Also, is it better to consider surgery instead of continuing with the cream treatment?

-Steroid creams for phimosis can sometimes cause skin thinning or irritation if used long-term. If the condition doesn't improve, circumcision or preputioplasty is a more definitive solution. Consult a urologist to choose the best option for you.

Ive been diagnosed with a left varicocele grade 2 or 3 along with mild reflux, and I also have low sperm count and motility. What are the treatment options available for this? Which one is considered the best? Will the treatment help increase my sper...

Accepted Answer

Left varicocele grade 2 or 3 with mild reflux, low sperm count, and low motility can be treated with medication or surgery. The best treatment for varicocele with low sperm count and motility is typically surgical repair of the varicocele, known as varicocelectomy. This procedure can improve sperm count and motility by reducing testicular temperature and improving blood flow to the testes. Medication options include pain relief medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. However, for low sperm count and motility, medications like Clomiphene or Letrozole can be prescribed to help increase sperm production. Additionally, antioxidants like Coenzyme Q10 or Vitamin E may also be recommended to improve sperm quality. It is important to consult with a urologist to determine the most suitable treatment option for your specific case.

Accepted Answer

Urethral irritation usually presents in this way. To help alleviate the tingling sensation, you can try taking Flavoxate (brand name Urispas) 200 mg tablets. This medication helps to relax the muscles in the bladder and urethra, reducing the discomfort you are feeling. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.
