I recently noticed a lump about the size of a bee under the skin on the shaft of my penis. It's not painful at all, even when I press on it, but I'm a bit worried. Could this be something serious?

I found out I have a grade III varicocele in my right testicle after a Doppler scan was done because I had some pain there a few months back. The doctor mentioned I might need surgery. I'm feeling a bit worried about not treating it. Can there be any side effects if I leave it as is? Would not having the surgery impact anything long-term?

surgical management is best

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?

Kidney stones may not always cause pain and discomfort and may remain asymptomatic unless they grow too big or get stuck in the ureter or urethra. A 12 mm kidney stone is large and can cause much pain and difficulties and requires surgery for removal.

I'm curious if eating raw garlic on an empty stomach in the morning might help with erection issues and premature ejaculation. Have you heard of this working for anyone, and is it something worth trying?

Consuming raw garlic on an empty stomach may have some health benefits due to its potential to improve blood circulation, but there is limited scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness in treating erectile dysfunction (ED) or premature ejaculation (PE). For more effective treatment, it's important to consult a healthcare provider to identify underlying causes and explore appropriate therapies.
