I have a Grade 1 left varicocele measuring 3.1 mm and my sperm count is okay but motility and morphology are low. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments I can try?

While surgery (varicocelectomy) is a common treatment for varicoceles, especially when they cause infertility or significant pain, it's not always the only option, particularly for a Grade 1 varicocele measuring 3.1 mm. Lifestyle modifications and monitoring can be effective for mild cases.

I'm really struggling with the effects of masturbation on my mental and physical health. It leaves me feeling guilty, depressed, and like I'm losing my self-confidence. I'm also experiencing memory loss, trouble making decisions, and both back and neck pain. My heart even races, I feel lazy afterward, and I'm noticing some discharge during sexual feelings. Sometimes I end up discharging really quickly, like within 10 seconds while watching porn. I just want to understand if there's an effective treatment or advice that could help because it's starting to impact my life and career. Could you give me some guidance on this?

It seems that your symptoms are related to emotional and physical stress triggered by excessive masturbation and porn use. Reducing or eliminating these habits, focusing on self-care, practicing mindfulness, and seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor can help improve both mental and physical health. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management techniques can also support recovery.

I've been feeling worried about my penis size. It's around 6 inches long but not very thick, and I've heard that thickness can be really important for sexual intercourse. I'm wondering if there's a doctor here who can help me with this. Are there any medicines or other methods that can help increase my penis thickness? It's something I'd really like to improve.

It's completely normal to have concerns about body image, but it's important to understand that size and thickness are often less significant than factors like intimacy, trust, and communication in relationships. There are no proven medications or treatments for increasing penis thickness. If you're still concerned, I recommend speaking to a urologist for personalized advice and support.
