A varicocoele may affect fertility. About 10% of men have a left sided varicocoele due, in part, to the anatomical effect of the compression of the left renal vein between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta (the “nutcracker effect”) increasing the venous pressure in the left gonadal vein. This pressure leads to varicose veins in and around the testicle. The scrotum is a cooling device for the testicles, resulting in a drop of 1-2 degrees below body temperature. The varicocoele may interfere with the cooling of the testicles, and thus impair fertility. The reasons behind the varicocoele/fertility question are more complex, and not fully understood as of yet. While many men have a varicocoele, most are not infertile. Yet correcting a varicocoele for a man with infertility results in pregnancy in about 50% of cases.

Brownish urine can mean many things. It can mean blood in the urine, usually old blood, it can also mean bile in the urine. If you have liver disease the urine can turn brown. A fistula to the bladder or urethra from the colon can cause brownish fecal matter to color the urine. A brownish discharge from the urethra maybe either blood or an infection. I would advise you to get checked by a urologist. A urinalysis should be done.

Chronic urinary tract infections in the elderly are usually the result of arophic vaginitis. With the loss of hormones at menopause, the wall of the vagina thins out and is unable to support healthy bacteria to prevent urinary tract infections. As you know, the vagina and the bladder are neighbors, and after menopause the vagina becomes a bad neighbor. This can be reversed through a couple of different strategies. One is to provide hormonal replacement, which should be bioidentical, such as estradiol and progesterone. A non-hormonal solution is through radio frequency vaginal rejuvenation, ThermiVa. This treatment induces the growth of new healthy vaginal tissue. With the addition of oral probiotics, the vagina can support a colony of healthy bacteria to prevent the “bad” bacteria from causing urinary tract infections. I have used this strategy in several of my patients, with good success. Additional benefits are improved vaginal hygiene, appearance, and lubrication.
