I'm experiencing some pain in my left testicle, and it's kind of radiating from my lower abdomen on the left side down to there. Can you help me understand what's going on?

The symptoms you are describing could be due to a condition called epididymitis, which is inflammation of the epididymis. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) to help with the pain and inflammation. It is important to also rest, wear supportive underwear, and apply a cold pack to the area. However, it is crucial to see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment, as antibiotics may be needed if the cause is bacterial.

View allI'm a 25-year-old guy, and I've been feeling really self-conscious about my penis size, which is about 3 inches. I had an experience with my girlfriend where she wasn't satisfied, and it's been making me feel really guilty and embarrassed. I've heard about treatments for penis enlargement, specifically with Unani Medicines, but I'm not sure where to start. Should I be seeing a urologist or a sexologist to discuss this? I'm really curious and a bit worried about how to approach the situation.

I'm concerned about the size of my penis because it feels smaller than it used to be. I used to think it was long enough, but now I'm not so sure. I masturbate regularly, but not as often as I used to. Can you help me understand what's going on and if there's a way to make it bigger?
To address your concern, focus on overall penis health rather than solely pursuing enlargement methods; regular masturbation is normal, but excessive frequency may lead to temporary size fluctuations; consider maintaining a balanced lifestyle, including a healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep; also, be aware that there's no scientifically proven method to significantly increase penis size, and beware of unverified claims or products promising enlargement.
