Health Queries

I have been suffering from an enlarged prostate for two years and am taking Veltam 4 mg. Can you suggest an Ayurvedic medication?

Ayurvedic treatment for an enlarged prostate focuses on improving urinary flow, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall urinary health. It usually involves herbal formulations, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes like regular exercise and proper hydration. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any treatment to ensure it is safe and suitable for your condition.

I have a slight bulge in my right testicle and pain in the groin area, with my left testicle sagging. This has been uncomfortable for the last two weeks.

Examination is necessary because a testicular protrusion accompanied by groin pain may be caused by a hernia, varicocele, infection, or fluid accumulation. Soon, you should have a physical examination and perhaps an ultrasound by a urologist or surgeon. Seek immediate medical attention if there is swelling, redness, fever, or sudden, intense pain.
