I'm a bit concerned because my foreskin doesn't retract when I'm erect, even though I can pull it back when I'm not. Also, I feel like my penis might be smaller than average. What do you think I should do?

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—consult a urologist for evaluation. It’s best to discuss this openly with your parents as it’s 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 have varicocele in my left testicle and want to know if there are any medicines that can treat it without needing surgery
There are no medications that directly treat varicoceles themselves. However, some medications can help manage pain and discomfort associated with the condition. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can provide relief. Additionally, lifestyle changes, such as wearing supportive underwear,can help with pain management
