I'm a bit concerned because my penis is 13.5 cm, and I'm wondering if that's considered small. Sometimes I feel like I need to masturbate to avoid the constant urge for an erection. Could this be a problem?

A penis size of 13.5 cm is within the normal range, and there's no cause for concern. Masturbation can be a natural outlet for sexual urges, but if you feel discomfort or pressure to engage in it, it's important to address any underlying concerns and maintain a balanced approach to your sexual health. If you ever feel unsure or anxious about your body, it might help to talk to a healthcare provider.

I have bilateral varicocele, worse on the left side and milder on the right. Can homeopathy actually help treat this or is surgery the only real option for relief? I'm worried about the long-term effects if left untreated but also hesitant about going under the knife right away. What would you recommend?

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

I'm a bit worried because my sperm doesn't seem to shoot out like I thought it should. Is this a problem I should be concerned about? Also, how many times is it normal to ejaculate in one night?

I think it is normal that your sperm doesnt shoot out. In my experience the volume and power of ejaculation varies from orgasm to orgasm.Masturbation habit is a safe and healthy sexual practice before marriage. But masturbation not more than twice a week is ideal.
