I was diagnosed with grade 2 varicocele back in 2018 and have been using a supporter regularly since then. Some days I get slight pain in my scrotum, maybe once a month should I consider surgery or is there another way to manage this?

Grade 2 varicocele can be managed conservatively unless pain or infertility occurs—then surgery is advised.

I'm 18 and I've been masturbating a lot lately, about 10 times continuously in the past couple of weeks. I stopped now, but I've noticed my hands and other body parts are shaking. I'm really worried if this could have any serious effects on my health or future. It's causing me a lot of internal stress. Can you help me understand what's happening and how I can deal with this? I'm feeling pretty scared.

I'm 28 and about to get married but I have a foreskin that doesn't retract. There's no infection, but my friends suggested sunthi surgery. I'm scared about the procedure can this be fixed with medicines instead? If I need surgery, where should I go and how much does it usually cost? Also how many days will recovery take

Circumcision is a very safe procedure. Certain ointments have been tried but in my experience I can tell you that they don't actually work. So better to go for circumcision. It just requires a maximum of 1 day hospitalisation. Cost would differ from hospital to hospital.

I have stage 1 phimosis where I can pull back my foreskin when flaccid but not when erect. Intercourse isn't an issue, but I'm unsure if I need treatment. Some suggest surgery while others recommend coconut oil and exercises. What's the best approach for this should I treat it or leave it alone?
