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've been having really bad pain in my lower abdomen and my IVP report says my left kidney isn't showing up on the scan. The doctor told me my left kidney is in the tube and surgery isn't an option. I'm really worried is there any chance surgery could still be possible? What does this mean for me?

I'm 17 and have been wondering about how often it's normal or healthy to masturbate. Im a bit worried if there's any harm or risk to my health from doing it too much. Can you give me some guidance?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, and there's no specific frequency that's considered "right" or "wrong"; as long as it doesn't interfere with daily life, relationships, or mental health, masturbation is generally not injurious to health, but excessive frequency (e.g., multiple times a day) may lead to temporary physical or emotional issues, so moderation is key.

My frenulum got cut during sex with my girlfriend and now there's just a little pain left. Is this normal, or should I see a doctor?

Give it a rest for a week, that is no sex or masturbation, it should heal just fine as it doesn't sound deep. Avoid putting any type of cream on it just keep it clean and dry as possible and you will be fine... Don't apply cream as it keeps the wound moist and it will not heal for ages. Stop sex etc and if you see no improvement then as bad as it seems, you need to seek medical advice. .
