I recently got a Doppler scrotal scan that showed grade 1 varicocele without reflux on color Doppler. The report says it might need surgery and could progress to grade 2 later. I'm worried about how this could affect my fertility does this mean I might have trouble having kids in the future? Should I consider surgery now or wait? Also, could this impact my decision to get married or stay single?

View allI'm worried about whether I might have Frenulum breve. I can't fully retract my foreskin when my penis is erect, but I can do it when it's semi-erect or flaccid. Is that enough reason to think I have this condition?
-Frenulum breve is when the frenulum (the band under the penis head) is too short, limiting foreskin retraction, especially during an erection. If you can retract it only on a flaccid or semi-erect penis, it could be a sign, but it's best to consult a doc

is it safe to masturbate after fistula surgery 10 days ago if i still have an open wound
Masturbation after fistula surgery should be avoided until complete wound healing—ask your surgeon before resuming any such activity.

I've noticed something a bit concerning over the past couple of days. There's been this hazy liquid discharge under my foreskin, kind of with some white stuff mixed in. It only seems to happen once or twice a day, not every time I go to the bathroom, but I do catch it when I'm urinating. There's no burning sensation, so that's good, but afterward, there's a mild itch that lingers for a short while. I remember something similar happened around six months ago. Any idea what this might be or what I should do? I'm curious and a bit worried.
Your symptoms, including intermittent penile discharge, white-colored stuff, and mild itchiness, could be indicative of a fungal or bacterial infection, such as balanitis or urethritis, or possibly a sexually transmitted infection (STI), and it's essential to consult a urologist or a dermatologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan, especially since you've experienced similar symptoms in the past.
