I'm planning to start a family, but I've been struggling with getting a proper erection lately. I've never had problems before, and my sex life used to be good. This has been happening for the past few months. I don't have any medical issues or take any medication, so I'm a bit worried and could really use some advice on what might be going on.

View allI've had a dull pain in my left testis for quite a while now. My USG scrotum showed a Grade III varicocele I've attached the report. What non-surgical treatments would you recommend for this? I'm a bit worried about the long-term effects if left untreated.
For a Grade III varicocele causing pain, initial non-surgical treatments focus on managing pain and discomfort. These include over-the-counter pain relievers, scrotal support with jock straps or snug underwear, and ice packs to reduce swelling. While these may offer temporary relief, Grade III varicoceles are often more severe and may require further intervention if pain persists or fertility is a concern

I have multiple stones up to 6.7 mm in size do I need to take medication or is surgery necessary? Looking for advice from a gastroenterology specialist on the best way to handle this
For multiple kidney stones up to 6.7 mm, a gastroenterologist (who deals primarily with the digestive system) may not be the most appropriate specialist. Urologists, who specialize in the urinary system, are better equipped to manage kidney stones. While medication can sometimes help smaller stones pass on their own, larger stones like yours may require more intervention, potentially including procedures like lithotripsy or ureteroscopy.
