I have a grade 2 varicocele but my semen report is normal can it heal on its own? Does icing actually help with the discomfort? If I go for surgery, will it affect my penile function in any way?

Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

it's been 9 days since my circumcision and the glans sensitivity is really bothering me i've been using a handkerchief under my underwear to reduce the sensation how long will this last and is there anything i can take to help with the sensitivity

The exposed head of your penis (glans) will feel sensitive for the first two weeks; however, this will soon settle. After you have recovered from surgery, you can engage in sex as you did before.1

I'm really worried about my bent penis. I've had it for years and I'm not sure if it's Peyronie's disease or something else. Is there anything that can be done to fix it?
