I'm a 21-year-old virgin guy, and I've noticed that the foreskin on my penis is attached to the head by some kind of tissue. It's making it hard for my foreskin to retract completely. What can I do to fix this issue?

I have grade 4 varicocele and azoospermia with zero sperm count could the varicocele be causing this? IVF clinics are recommending TESA since I'm trying for a child, but I'm unsure whether to go for varicocele surgery first or proceed directly with TESA to improve my chances of having sperm

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm really worried because I've been masturbating for about 5 years, and now my penis looks different, kind of out of shape. I'm not sure if this will affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. On top of that, my legs have gotten really thin, and I feel pain in all my joints. My testicles are also quite painful. Did I somehow damage my penis? Could you help me understand what's going on?

Masturbation itself does not typically cause permanent damage to the penis or reproductive health; however, your symptoms, such as penis shape concerns, joint pain, thin legs, and testicular pain, may be related to other factors, including over-masturbation, which can lead to temporary issues like fatigue, muscle strain, or inflammation; consider consulting a urologist
