I'm dealing with a grade 2 varicocele and I'm really into my gym workouts. Is it okay for me to continue going to the gym? Also, are there any specific things I need to watch out for or avoid while exercising? On top of that, are there any medications or treatments I should consider to help reverse or manage this?

With Varicocele Grade 2, you can still go to the gym, but take precautions to avoid exacerbating the condition: avoid heavy lifting, bending, or straining, wear supportive underwear or a jockstrap, and take regular breaks to rest and elevate your scrotum; however, consult your doctor or a urologist before starting or continuing exercise, as they may recommend specific exercises or restrictions based on your individual condition; regarding medications, Varicocele often requires surgical treatment, but pain relief medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be prescribed to manage discomfort, and hormone-regulating medications like clomiphene may be considered in some cases, but only under medical supervision.

Last night I was having intercourse and somehow ended up doing it between his legs. I felt a burning sensation and when I woke up this morning, I noticed two burns on the head of my penis. Ive been using aloe vera gel for now but I'm a bit worried. What could this mean and what should I do next?

You may have experienced some irritation or friction burns during intercourse. To help with the healing process and reduce discomfort, you can continue using aloe vera gel. Additionally, you can also consider using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any further irritation until the burns have healed. If the burns worsen or do not improve, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
