I'm dealing with a tight foreskin problem. It's really not soft, and when my penis is erect, it feels hard, and I can't fully pull it back. I'm a bit worried about this. Can you suggest any treatments or options for this issue?

You're experiencing symptoms of phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be retracted; treatment options include topical steroid creams like betamethasone to loosen the skin, manual stretching exercises, or in severe cases, circumcision or preputioplasty surgery, so consult a urologist

View allI've been measuring and my penis is around 7.5 inches which seems decent, but I'm noticing it looks a bit thinner than I'd like. I'm really curious, is there a way to increase its thickness?
It's normal for penises to vary in shape and size. While there are no guaranteed methods to increase thickness significantly, exercises like jelqing or treatments such as dermal fillers may help, but it's best to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and to address any concerns.

I have a grade 3 varicocele on my left side and I'm trying to decide between open or microscopic surgery which one has better results? Also, can you recommend any doctors in Pune who specialize in microscopic varicocele surgery?
For a Grade 3 varicocele, microscopic varicocelectomy is generally considered superior to open surgery, offering potentially better results with fewer complications. It's considered the "gold standard" in many cases

I've been dealing with a scrotum infection for the past two years. The veins there have swollen and become painful, especially during intimate moments or activities. I've visited numerous doctors, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this, and what should I try next?
According to symptoms this is a case of varicocele.There are no drugs to treat or prevent varicoceles. But pain killers (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen) may help with pain. When needed, surgery is the main form of treatment. Embolization (briefly blocking the veins) is a non-surgical treatment option
