View allI had a complete ACL tear two years ago and haven't had surgery yet should I consider getting it done now? What are the risks if I leave it untreated and how might it affect my mobility long-term?
The knee might heal—the swelling and pain will stop. But a torn anterior cruciate ligament does not reattach or heal itself. You may still be able to live how you want by strengthening your leg and core (your hips contribute to leg strength and function) and adjusting your activities.

I have a congenital curve in my penis that bends to the left like a banana, around 30-35 degrees. Do I need surgery for this? I'm still a virgin and worried about how this might affect me. What are my options?
Most congenital penile curvatures are mild and don't require treatment. But in more severe cases, your penis is significantly bent or twisted along the shaft. This can make you feel self-conscious, cause pain or affect sexual function.
