I'm curious about something that's been worrying me. I've been masturbating daily for the last six months and I'm concerned about whether this could be harmful or have any side effects. How often is it okay to masturbate? I'm also a bit anxious because I haven't had any children yet. Could this habit affect my marriage or my chances of having children in the future? I would appreciate some guidance on this.

My 80-year-old grandfather has prostate enlargement and the doctor recommended testicle removal surgery but he also has prostate cancer is this surgery safe for him given his condition?

Testicle removal surgery (orchiectomy) is a form of hormone therapy for prostate cancer and can be used to manage prostate enlargement, but it's not a common treatment for prostate cancer alone. The decision of whether to proceed with the surgery needs to be made based on individual factors, including the severity of prostate enlargement, the stage and aggressiveness of prostate cancer, and the patient's overall health and life expectancy

I have a Grade 1 left varicocele measuring 3.1 mm and my sperm count is okay but motility and morphology are low. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments I can try?

While surgery (varicocelectomy) is a common treatment for varicoceles, especially when they cause infertility or significant pain, it's not always the only option, particularly for a Grade 1 varicocele measuring 3.1 mm. Lifestyle modifications and monitoring can be effective for mild cases.
