I'm experiencing a little bit of pain in my left testicle and I've noticed that it doesn't look the same as usual. It seems like the left side is swelling. Should I be concerned about this?

The symptoms you've described, including pain in the left testicle, swelling, and an abnormal shape, warrant immediate medical attention, as they could be indicative of a serious condition, such as testicular torsion, epididymitis, orchitis please visit a urologist or an emergency room as soon as possible for a thorough evaluation, including a physical exam, ultrasound, and potentially other imaging tests, to determine the cause and receive prompt treatment.

I'm really worried about this pain in my right testicle after I masturbate. I usually keep it to once or twice a week, so I don't think I'm overdoing it. I'm also dealing with premature ejaculation and I'm wondering if there's something natural I can try to help with both issues. Any advice?

You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a cold pack to the area may help reduce inflammation and pain. Make sure to rest and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. For premature ejaculation, you can try natural remedies such as behavioral techniques (such as the start-stop technique or the squeeze technique), pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises), and certain herbs like ashwagandha or ginseng. You can also consider using lidocaine sprays or condoms to reduce sensitivity. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've just come out of isolation after having covid for about 20 days, and I've noticed something odd. My urine is sometimes yellow, but it goes back to normal when I drink a couple of glasses of water quickly. Should I be concerned?
