I have a varicose vein in my left scrotum and have been trying for a baby for the past 4 years. My semen test shows pus cells at 2025 hpf and motility is 30, but my wife's tests are all normal. Should I consider getting varicose vein surgery to improve my chances?

Varicocele surgery may improve fertility, especially with pus cells and poor motility—urologist consult is recommended.

I'm noticing some swelling in the veins on my penis. Is this something that might go away on its own or should I be concerned that it's more serious?

Ever since the past 10 years, I've been masturbating two or three times a day. But recently, I've noticed that my penis isn't getting hard while I do it. I hardly have sex, maybe once or twice a year, and even then, I don't ejaculate. Now I'm really worried because it's becoming a problemnot just the erectile issue, but also hair loss. I feel like everything's falling apart, and I've even started having suicidal thoughts. I'm too embarrassed to talk to anyone about it. Can you suggest what I should do?

Im so sorry youre feeling this wayits important to know this can be treated. Erectile issues and hair loss might stem from stress, hormonal imbalances, or over-masturbation. Please see a doctor to check your testosterone and mental health; you're not alone, and help is available.

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've developed multiple cysts on my left epididymis again. They were removed about three years ago, but now I can feel them coming back, and one of them is quite big, around 3cm by 2cm. It's not really painful, but there's definitely some discomfort. Should I be worried about these recurring epididymal cysts, and what might be causing them to grow back?
