  1. Circumcision and Premature Ejaculation:

    • Circumcision is not a reliable or recommended treatment for premature ejaculation (PE).
    • PE involves ejaculating sooner than desired and can have complex causes, including psychological and medical factors.
  2. Understanding Circumcision:

    • It involves the surgical removal of the foreskin, often for medical, cultural, or religious reasons.
    • Scientific evidence does not support it as a cure for PE.
  3. Effective Treatments for PE:

    • Behavioral techniques and counseling.
    • Topical anesthetics and medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.
  4. Recommendation:

    • Consult a urologist or sexual health specialist for personalized advice and treatment options. Avoid considering circumcision solely as a solution for PE without professional guidance.

Also, is there any link between varicocele and frequent masturbation could it make the condition worse? If surgery is needed, which option is better laparoscopy or embolization?

With Varicocele Grade 2, you can still go to the gym, but take precautions to avoid exacerbating the condition: avoid heavy lifting, bending, or straining, wear supportive underwear or a jockstrap, and take regular breaks to rest and elevate your scrotum; however, consult your doctor or a urologist before starting
