I'm constantly feeling the urge to pee and poop. It's really frustrating because when I try to pee, I have to push really hard and only a tiny bit comes out. When I poop, its incredibly painful because my anus is really swollen and inflamed. I'm stuck in the bathroom and it's becoming unbearable. What's going on with me? Can you help?

View allHow do I properly massage my penis and testicles, and is it safe to use coconut oil for this? I've been curious about whether there's a right technique and if coconut oil is a good option.
To massage your penis and testicles, use gentle, circular motions without applying excessive pressure. Coconut oil can be used as a lubricant due to its moisturizing properties, but ensure you're not allergic. If you have any concerns or discomfort, its best to consult a healthcare professional.

What's the best surgery option for a grade 3 varicocele and how is open surgery done do they use any magnification during the procedure
For grade 3 varicocele, microsurgical varicocelectomy is generally considered the best surgical option, offering the highest success rate and lowest risk of complications. Open surgery, specifically microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy, involves making a small incision in the groin area, and the surgeon uses a microscope or loupes (magnifying glasses) to identify and ligate (tie off) the enlarged veins, preserving the testicular artery and lymphatic vessels.
