Testicle pain can have various causes, including infections or inflammation. In your case, it is important to rule out any underlying infection. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, you should consider using a scrotal support to alleviate discomfort. It is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment, as you may need antibiotics if there is an infection present.

I've been dealing with premature ejaculation and it's really starting to get to me. I'm looking for some advice on how I can manage this. Do you have any suggestions on what might help?

Premature ejaculation can be managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, counseling, and medical treatments. Techniques such as the "start-stop" method, pelvic exercises (Kegel exercises), and, if necessary, medications like SSRIs can be helpful. Consulting a healthcare provider for a personalized plan would be a good next step.

I've had this tight ring around my penis foreskin for years now - I can pull the skin back when soft but it hurts during erections and sex. Sometimes the skin even tears because of that tight band. It's not phimosis but I really don't want surgery - are there any medical treatments that could help with this?

While it sounds like you might have a condition similar to phimosis (tight foreskin), where the foreskin can't fully retract, and you're experiencing pain during erections, there are non-surgical options that can help. These include topical medications, gentle stretching exercises, and maintaining good hygiene.
