I recently realized I have an undescended right testicle I can feel it just above the penis on that side. Is it still possible to descend the testicle at my age? If surgery is an option, how do I bring this up with my parents? Also, will having one testicle affect my sperm count or sexual health in the long run? Can I still have a normal sex life with just one?

Yes, surgery (orchiopexy) may still be an option depending on your age and the position of the testicle‚Äîconsult a urologist for evaluation. It‚Äôs best to discuss this openly with your parents as it‚Äôs a common condition. Having one healthy testicle is usually enough for normal sperm production and sexual function. Most men with one testicle lead a completely normal sex life and can father children.

I'm curious about recovery after my varicocele and hydrocele surgery done on January 3rd. When is it safe to get back to normal sexual activities like having sex or masturbating? I'm a bit worried about doing anything too soon.

You can typically resume normal sexual activities, including sex or masturbation, about **46 weeks** after varicocele and hydrocele surgery, once you've fully healed. However, it's best to consult your doctor for personalized advice, as recovery time can vary.

I'm really worried because while having sex with my wife, as soon as I went in, my penis started bleeding from the area where the foreskin is attached to the pee hole. Can you tell me what might be happening and what I should do?

I'm sorry to hear about this. Bleeding from the area where the foreskin is attached could be due to friction or irritation. It's important to keep the area clean and avoid further irritation. If the bleeding continues or you experience pain, it's advisable to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough examination and proper guidance.
