I'm a bit worried about my left testicle because it hangs much lower than the right one and there's a burning sensation. I've read about bell clapper deformity and how it might lead to testicular torsion. Also, I've been diagnosed with bilateral grade 1 varicocele. I'm wondering if I might need surgery for this or if it can be managed with medicine. Could you help clarify this for me?

I've been having frequent urine problems and the doctor prescribed me pyridium, urispas, and alkacitral syrup. This is the third time I'm dealing with this issue. The doc mentioned my urine pipe is a bit shrunk and suggested surgery, but I really don't want to go through that. Are there any other options or treatments I can try instead of surgery?

seems to be urethral syndrome kindly consult urologist

Can fistula and hydrocele surgeries be done at the same time or is it better to do them separately I've heard mixed opinions and want to understand the risks and recovery process if both are done together

Fistula and hydrocele surgeries can be done together, but the best approach often depends on the individual case and surgeon's preference. Both surgeries are generally considered relatively low-risk, but combining them might slightly increase the risk of complications, such as infection or bleeding. The recovery process might also be slightly longer if both procedures are done concurrently.

My mom has an 11.8 mm stone in her pelvicalyceal system. Is surgery the only option or can she try ESWL treatment instead?

ESWL is the safe and effective treatment in the treatment of renal calculus.Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a non invasive procedure used to treat renal calculus, since the process is non invasive,outpatient procedure,short recovery time and lastly low risk of complications like bleeding and infection.ESWL works best for small stones of size 4mm to 2cms in diameter.
