I'm experiencing some pain in my right testicle along with a bit of swelling and tenderness. It's not there all the time and I can handle it, but it gets painful when I touch the area where the veins connect to the testicle. It feels like something isn't quite right. Can you please give me some advice on what this might be?

You may be experiencing epididymitis, which is inflammation of the epididymis, the coiled tube located behind the testicle that stores and carries sperm. This condition can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the testicle. I recommend you to take an antibiotic such as Ciprofloxacin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen as needed for pain and inflammation. Make sure to rest, wear supportive underwear, and apply ice packs to the area to help with swelling and discomfort. If your symptoms worsen or do not improve, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm a 37-year-old male and lately, I've been having issues with premature ejaculation when I'm intimate with my wife. It's been really concerning, and on top of that, I also experience pain in my lower back during these times. I'm really worried about these symptoms and would love some advice on what might be going on. What could be causing this, and how can I address it?

Treatment may not be needed. Practicing relaxation techniques or using distraction methods may help you delay ejaculation. For some men, stopping or cutting down on the use of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs may improve how well they can control ejaculation..consult psychiatrists they will do the needful
