I had varicocele surgery two months ago but still have testicle pain. The recent scan shows some veins are still there and it's now grade 1. Do I need another surgery or are there other options to manage this?

It's understandable to be concerned about ongoing pain after varicocele surgery, especially with a grade 1 varicocele still present. While some vein persistence is normal, persistent pain warrants further investigation. While repeat surgery could be an option, other conservative measures and interventions should be considered first

I noticed a small pea-sized cyst on my scrotum and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I see a urologist or a general surgeon to get it checked out? Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat it?

See a urologist first. If it’s an epidermoid cyst or sebaceous cyst, surgery is the cure. If inflamed, antibiotics may help first.

I had a circumcision done about 3 weeks ago and it seems like it's healed. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have intercourse now? How long should I wait before it's safe to do so after the procedure?

It's great to hear that your circumcision has healed. Typically, it's recommended to wait around **4 to 6 weeks** after the procedure to ensure full healing before engaging in intercourse. However, if you're feeling comfortable and have no pain or discomfort, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor to ensure everything is healing well before proceeding.

I'm really worried because I've been over-masturbating and it's causing a bunch of problems. I've got this awful lower back pain, my eyes are constantly strained, and my sleep patterns are all over the place. There's this weird whitish substance under my armpits, and I'm losing hair on my scalp, which is more sensitive now. I've even noticed small boils and some slight pain in that area. My groin and pelvic area feel cramped, and while my erections seem normal, I don't get morning erections anymore. The real kicker is that orgasms during masturbation just don't feel the same. What should I do?

You may be experiencing symptoms related to over masturbation. To address these issues, I recommend the following: 1. Lower back pain and strain in eyes: You can take acetaminophen for pain relief and use lubricating eye drops for eye strain. 2. Abnormal sleep patterns: Consider practicing good sleep hygiene and relaxation techniques before bed. 3. Whitish substance in armpit and scalp, sensitive scalp, small boils on scalp: Use an antifungal shampoo like Ketoconazole for scalp issues and an antifungal cream for armpit concerns. 4. Hair fall: Use minoxidil solution on the scalp to promote hair growth. 5. Groin and pelvic cramps: You can try over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen for relief. 6. Erectile issues and lack of morning erections: Consider taking sildenafil for erectile dysfunction. 7. Inability to feel orgasm like before: You may benefit from counseling or therapy to address any psychological factors contributing to this issue. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages for each medication and consult with a healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
