I'm a 25-year-old guy with tight foreskin that hurts when I pull it back. Surgery isn't something I want to consider right now are there other ways to manage this?

Topical steroid creams and gentle stretching may help phimosis and frenulum breve; surgery like preputioplasty is minor and effective if needed.

View allI've noticed this strange discomfort and occasional pain in my right testicle after I masturbate. It's become a bit of a concern because I usually do it once a day, sometimes twice. Could this be from doing it too much, and should I be worried about this? Is there anything I can do to stop it from happening?
Experiencing vague pain or discomfort in the right testicle can be a concerning symptom. It is possible that excessive masturbation may be contributing to this issue. To prevent further discomfort, you can try reducing the frequency of masturbation and ensuring proper lubrication during the act. Additionally, wearing supportive underwear and avoiding activities that put pressure on the testicles may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I have bilateral grade 1 varicocele but my left testicle feels heavy and painful especially when lying down. I'm considering surgery but unsure whether microsurgical varicocelectomy or embolization would be better in terms of success rates and fewer complications. Which option tends to have better outcomes for cases like mine?
For a case of bilateral Grade 1 varicocele with pain and heaviness in the left testicle, microsurgical varicocelectomy is generally preferred over embolization due to its higher success rates and potentially fewer long-term complications.
