I'm worried because my penis has suddenly gotten swollen, and I dont exactly know why. I was traveling on a bus last night, and this morning I noticed it was a bit swollen. Now, it seems to have gotten worse. There's been no sexual activity or anything else that could explain it. Could something have bitten me, and what should I do about it? Can you help me out with some advice?

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'm 19 and recently I've been having some issues that are really worrying me. For the past three months, I haven't been getting any erections or feeling any drive. My testicles also seem to have become soft and smaller, and there's this constant pain that makes it uncomfortable to sit sometimes. Do you have any idea what's going on? I'm really concerned and would love some advice.

I found out that I have a 4.5mm calculus in my left kidney, and now I'm really worried about what I should eat to keep these stones from forming again. I already drink about 3 liters of water every day, so I'm wondering if there's a specific diet I should follow. What do you recommend?

-Keep drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and prevent stone formation. Adjust your diet by reducing oxalate-rich foods and limiting salt and animal protein. Regular follow-ups with your doctor will ensure you're on the right track.
