Can you tell me if having sudden urges to watch porn when I'm alone, or imagining being in bed with a naked woman, is considered an addiction? I'm worried about how often these thoughts are coming up, and I really want to understand if this is normal or if I should be concerned. Any advice on how to manage these feelings would be really helpful.

Smoking can contribute to testicular pain, although it's often an indirect cause. Here's what you need to know:
Possible Reasons for Testicular Pain Due to Smoking
- Varicocele: Smoking can damage blood vessels, leading to varicocele, a swelling of veins in the scrotum that can cause testicular pain.
- Inflammation: Smoking can lead to chronic inflammation, which may cause testicular pain.
- Reduced blood flow: Smoking damages blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the testicles, potentially causing pain.
Diagnosis
To diagnose the cause of your testicular pain, consult a urologist or a primary care physician. They may recommend:
- Physical examination: A thorough examination of the testicles and scrotum.
- Ultrasound: To check for varicocele, hydrocele, or other abnormalities.
- Blood tests: To rule out infections or inflammation.
- Smoking cessation: Quitting smoking can help alleviate symptoms.
Treatment
Treatment will depend on the underlying cause of your testicular pain. Your doctor may recommend:
- Varicocele repair: Surgery to repair varicocele.
- Pain management: Medication to manage pain and inflammation.
- Smoking cessation programs: Resources to help you quit smoking.
Quit smoking to reduce your risk of developing testicular pain and other smoking-related health issues.

View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with depression symptoms for three months now and I've noticed that when I dont take my medication, I end up with a headache. I was on nexito forte and lesuride for the past month but my doctor switched my lesuride dose to sulpitac 50. To be honest, I really dont want to rely on medication. Can you tell me how long I'll need to keep taking these meds?
before starting of the medicines it is better to take advice from the consultant

I've been experiencing dreams every single day, and sometimes they get really scary. When I wake up from these, I feel so restless and tired, like I haven't slept at all. This has been happening since I was a kid, but after my dad passed away when I was 23, the dreams got much worse. He would often appear in my dreams and I would cry. Although it's not as intense now, I still have this issue with dreams every day, even if I take a nap during lunch. It affects me so much that I just feel exhausted all the time. I've never talked to a doctor about this before, but I'm starting to really worry. Could you please help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing vivid dreams or even sleep disturbances, which can be exacerbated by emotional stress, such as the loss of your father. This is quite common, and your restless feelings upon waking could be linked to disrupted sleep cycles. It might help to speak to a healthcare professional about this, as they can offer strategies or treatments to improve your sleep and emotional well-being.

I've been feeling my pulse all over my body, even when I touch my fingers, it's like I can feel it everywhere. Even when I'm lying down to sleep, I notice this pulsing in my head. On top of that, I keep having these sudden involuntary muscle jerks, they happen all over, including my head, hands, and legs, even when I'm trying to sleep. I have a lot of anxiety, and I end up worrying too much about my health. I often find myself searching online and getting even more anxious after reading things. Can you tell me if these symptoms might be related to anxiety, or is there something else I should be concerned about? I've already had an ECG done, and that came back normal.
