I keep getting small cuts on my foreskin during sex and sometimes it hurts a lot. It feels like phimosis but I really don't want to get circumcision or surgery. Are there any other treatments that could help with this?

Foreskin cuts and pain during intercourse may indicate phimosis; steroid creams and stretching exercises can help, but persistent symptoms may eventually need minor surgery.

I'm really concerned about an issue I've been dealing with. I was addicted to prone masturbation for about 10 years, and even though I stopped two years ago, I feel like my penis is damaged.

I'm experiencing this dragging sensation on the left side of my testicle and the color Doppler test showed I have a grade IV extra testicular varicocele on that side. My doctor mentioned surgery as the only solution, but I'm wondering if there might be any other treatments available. Could you offer some advice or alternatives?

While surgery is often recommended for high-grade varicoceles like Grade IV, alternative treatments may include embolization, a minimally invasive procedure to block blood flow to the varicocele, or sclerotherapy, injecting a solution to shrink the varicocele; however, consult your doctor or a urologist to discuss these options and determine the best course of treatment for your specific case.
