I'm dealing with some issues with my foreskin and I'm not really sure who the right doctor is to talk to about it. Should I be looking to see a dermatologist, a urologist, or maybe even a sexologist? I'm feeling a bit uncertain and could really use some advice on who might be the best specialist to consult for this kind of problem.

For foreskin problems, it's best to consult a urologist. They specialize in issues related to the urinary tract and male reproductive system, including foreskin concerns. If there are skin-related issues, a dermatologist may also be helpful. A sexologist is more suited for concerns related to sexual health and performance.

Dr prescribed fertisure m to my husband because his sperm motility is around 30%. How long will it take before we start seeing improvements? And how many months might it take to achieve good sperm motility with this medication? I'm just a bit anxious about how soon this tablet starts working.

I found out I have mild to moderate varicocele in my left testis after a Doppler test and ultrasound. Could prone masturbation be causing this? What should I do next is surgery necessary or are there other options?

Varicocele is not caused by masturbation. Mild-to-moderate cases are usually managed conservatively. Surgery (varicocelectomy) is needed only if fertility is affected or pain persists.
