I found out I have mild to moderate varicocele in my left testis after a Doppler test and ultrasound. Could prone masturbation be causing this? What should I do next is surgery necessary or are there other options?

Varicocele is not caused by masturbation. Mild-to-moderate cases are usually managed conservatively. Surgery (varicocelectomy) is needed only if fertility is affected or pain persists.

I'm having trouble with the foreskin of my penis not retracting to expose the head, and I'm really concerned about keeping things hygienic. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

It sounds like you might be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract. Gently stretching the foreskin over time may help, but if the problem persists, a doctor can recommend treatments such as topical steroids or, in some cases, a minor procedure. For hygiene, clean the area gently with warm water to avoid infections. Please consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm dealing with erectile dysfunction and was wondering if it's okay to take Tadact 10 mg every day. How should I be taking it, or is there another medication you recommend? I don't have any other health issues.

Tadact 10 mg is a brand name for Tadalafil, which is commonly used for erectile dysfunction. You can take Tadact 10 mg as needed, approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity. Alternatively, you can also consider taking Viagra (Sildenafil) or Levitra (Vardenafil) as alternative medicines for ED. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
