Can getting pregnant with a torn condom work if we're trying for a baby by cutting the tip with scissors? I have tight foreskin and sex without a condom is painful, so we're using this method but not sure if it's effective. I might need surgery for phimosis but that could take months, and we want to try conceiving this year

My foreskin is tight and it hurts when I pull it back but I really don't want surgery. Are there other ways to fix this without going under the knife?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've been having some pain in my left testicle on and off. What could be causing this?

Pain in the left testicle that comes and goes can be caused by various factors, such as **muscle strain**, **epididymitis** (inflammation of the epididymis), or even **testicular torsion**, although the latter is typically more sudden and severe. If the pain persists or is accompanied by swelling or other symptoms, it's important to see a healthcare provider for an evaluation and to rule out any serious conditions.
