I've been worried because back when I was a teenager, I was really into musterbation and didn't realize it could be harmful. Now I'm dealing with low sperm count and erectile dysfunction, and I'm concerned because my penis veins seem lifeless. Plus, there's always this watery discharge when I'm erect. I went to the doctor, and they said my sperm count is only 10 million. What should I do?

It's reasonable to seek a second opinion if you're experiencing discomfort despite your doctor's assessment that surgery isn't necessary for a grade 2 varicocele. While conservative management (like pain relievers and scrotal support) is often sufficient for mild cases, persistent pain warrants further evaluation. A second opinion can offer different perspectives and treatment options, including potentially exploring embolization, a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure

Can spermatocele be treated effectively with Ayurvedic medicines or is surgery the only option to get rid of the cyst

Most spermatoceles remain small in size and cause few or no symptoms. You don't need treatment if a spermatocele doesn't cause pain or discomfort. If you have long-term pain or discomfort, a provider may recommend surgery to get rid of a spermatocele
