I've got some meftal spas tablets at home. Is it okay to take them for kidney stone pain since my family doctor prescribed them to me before? I'm a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe.

i have varicocele in my left testicle and want to know if there are any medicines that can treat it without needing surgery

There are no medications that directly treat varicoceles themselves. However, some medications can help manage pain and discomfort associated with the condition. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can provide relief. Additionally, lifestyle changes, such as wearing supportive underwear,can help with pain management

I've been having this throbbing pain in my groin that starts from the lower right side of my abdomen and radiates down to my scrotum. It began with intense lower back pain on the right side, spreading to my thighs and then the groin sometimes it's so bad I can't stand straight. I had hernia surgery in the same spot when I was 6 could this be another hernia or something else?

Groin pain can sometimes happen due to medical emergencies like appendicitis, testicular torsion, ovarian torsion or a strangulated hernia (a hernia that's lost its blood supply). Seek emergency care if you have groin pain along with any of these symptoms: Nausea or vomiting.
