I'm trying to understand the effects of using coconut oil for massages on my penis. Will it help with increasing the size, or am I mistaken? Would love some clarity on this!

My ultrasound showed grade 5 and grade 2 varicocele in both testicles. The doctors are saying surgery might be the only option is that really the case? Are there other treatments I could try first? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my fertility and overall health. What would you recommend?

Grade 5 varicocele should be managed by microsurgical varicocolectomy Good success rate with very few complications Also can be done as day care surgery

I've been feeling a dragging sensation on the left side of my testicle and my color Doppler test showed extra testicular varicocele grade IV. The doctor said surgery is the only option but I'm wondering if there are any other treatments I could try first

While a grade IV varicocele typically warrants surgical intervention, alternative treatments like embolization or sclerotherapy might be considered. However, you should discuss these options with your doctor or a urologist to determine the best course of treatment for your specific case.
