Ever since the past 10 years, I've been masturbating two or three times a day. But recently, I've noticed that my penis isn't getting hard while I do it. I hardly have sex, maybe once or twice a year, and even then, I don't ejaculate. Now I'm really worried because it's becoming a problemnot just the erectile issue, but also hair loss. I feel like everything's falling apart, and I've even started having suicidal thoughts. I'm too embarrassed to talk to anyone about it. Can you suggest what I should do?

Im so sorry youre feeling this wayits important to know this can be treated. Erectile issues and hair loss might stem from stress, hormonal imbalances, or over-masturbation. Please see a doctor to check your testosterone and mental health; you're not alone, and help is available.

I'm really concerned because a few years ago, I had a laparoscopic stent implantation done through the urethral opening when I was 21. During that procedure, they had to slightly remove the prepuce because the glans penis was completely covered since I was a kid. Only a tiny opening was there for urine. After they opened the preputial orifice, the skin was soft, pinkish-white, and super sensitive. But about a year later, I noticed a black spot there. There's no growth, it's just a spot, and I'm really confused about what it could be. Is this a lentigo or something else I should be worried about? Can you help me figure this out?

I'm 25 and have been diagnosed with varicocele is there any way to treat it without surgery? I've attached my report and really want to explore non-surgical options if possible. What would you recommend?

Yes, it's possible to manage a varicocele without surgery, especially if it's mild and not causing fertility issues. Non-surgical options include lifestyle changes, ice packs, over-the-counter pain relievers, and a procedure called embolization.
