I have cryptorchidism that wasn't treated when I was younger and now I'm 19 with no pain. What should I do next? Which hospital department handles this condition? Is there any medicine I can try with a doctor's guidance or is surgery my only option? Between orchiopexy and orchiectomy, which one would be better for me?

At your age, if you have cryptorchidism with no pain, it's essential to consult with a urologist or pediatric urologist. They can assess your specific case, discuss treatment options, and help you make an informed decision. While surgery is usually recommended, the specific procedure (orchiopexy or orchiectomy) depends on various factors, including the testicle's condition and your individual circumstances

I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've been struggling with masturbation for about 7 years now. It feels like I'm really addicted and I want to quit but I just don't know how. I'm also worried, does masturbating lead to low sperm count or could it affect my ability to have kids in the future? I'm pretty scared about this and would really appreciate some advice.

I've been having some issues during sex where I come out really quickly when I try to insert, but if I don't attempt to insert, I can stay erect for a long time. I'm also a bit unsure about if there are any specific positions that might help with this. Any advice on what might be going on or what I could try?

It sounds like you may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend trying Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg about 1 hour before sexual activity. This can help improve blood flow to the penis and maintain an erection. As for positions, it's best to experiment and find what is most comfortable and pleasurable for you and your partner. Remember to consult a specialist before starting any new medication.
