How do you diagnose erectile dysfunction?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's mostly based on history of symptoms such as trouble getting an erection, trouble keeping an erection and reduced sexual desire. Tests are done to know the presence of any organic causes.

View allI had right inguinal hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh on the right side about 3 months ago but I'm still having pain in the areas marked with green dots in the photo I attached - is this normal or should I be concerned about the pain continuing this long after surgery
While some pain after hernia and varicocele surgery is normal, persistent pain three months post-surgery, especially in the areas marked in your photo, should be evaluated by your doctor. Though pain can persist for a few months, lasting pain beyond that is considered chronic and may indicate complications like nerve damage or inflammation.

I've been noticing this weird sensation where it feels like sperm ejaculates inside my body, possibly forming some sort of bubble. Then, when I ejaculate, it seems like these bubble-like formations come out, almost frozen. Is this something normal or should I be concerned about it?
What youre describing could be related to air bubbles trapped in the semen or changes in its consistency due to dehydration or prolonged ejaculation intervals. This is usually harmless, but if you notice persistent changes or discomfort, consider consulting a doctor for a proper evaluation.

I've noticed that my penis seems smaller in both length and width compared to how it was before, and it feels like it's shrinking over time. Is there any medication or treatment available to help get it back to its previous size?
hey, length of penis remains the same , it will not decrease , don't worry, it attains max length during erection and shrinks afterwards
