Any time you find a lump in your testicle or scrotum, you should have it checked by your doctor as soon as possible. However, if the lump you're feeling is in fact a varicocele, it likely won't cause pain. While varicocele pain is not common, it can occur, especially as the varicocele becomes larger.

I saw a video about phimosis and it mentioned it could lead to fungal infections should I be worried even if I haven't had any issues yet? Can it be treated with meds or is surgery the only option? If surgery is needed, are there any side effects? Also, could phimosis be affecting my penis size, and is there any way to increase it with medication?

Don't ignore this problem. It may cause you other sexual disorder in future. May be its your initial stage so you shouldn't ignore this problem otherwise it will badly effect on your sexual life.You do massage with olive oil and almond oil twice a day.

I'm having some trouble with my penis not being fully erect during sex, but it's not an issue at other times. Do you have any advice on how to improve stamina in bed?

It sounds like you may be experiencing erectile dysfunction during sex. To increase stamina during sex, you can try using a medication called Viagra (Sildenafil) taken 1 hour before sexual activity. This can help improve blood flow to the penis and maintain an erection. Additionally, practicing pelvic floor exercises, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, and managing stress can also help improve stamina during sex.

I've been experiencing something a bit odd and I'm not sure if I should be worried. When I start off, everything seems fine and I get an erection, but after about 23 minutes, I go soft. However, if I take a little break and focus on kissing, it gets erect again. Is this a normal pattern, or is there something I should be concerned about?

It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.
