I'm having this consistent mild pain in my testicle, mostly on the left side. My doctor thought it might be epididymitis and put me on antibiotics, but it's been three weeks and I'm still in pain and feeling uncomfortable. I've had ultrasounds for my scrotum, kidneys, and bladder, and everything seems normal. I also got my testosterone levels checked, and it's at 327 ngdL. Is this a normal situation, or should I be worried about something else going on?

A testosterone level of 327 ngdL is not typically a cause for concern, and it is not usually linked to epididymitis. If your symptoms persist despite antibiotic treatment, it's important to follow up with your doctor, as there may be other underlying factors contributing to the ongoing pain.

View allI have partial phimosis and I'm really worried about it can it be treated without needing surgery? What are my options and how effective are they? I'd prefer to avoid an operation if possible
Another effective alternate cure for phimosis is topical corticosteroids in the form of creams, ointments, or gels. Using these steroid creams for phimosis about 6-8 weeks improves the condition of phimosis in most cases. Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin.

My foreskin pulls back fine when soft but doesn't go all the way down when I'm erect. A urologist recommended frenuloplasty but I'm wondering if this can get better without surgery. Is there any way to fix this naturally over time?
It's possible your foreskin tightness could improve without surgery, particularly if it's a mild case or if you're young. Gentle daily retraction exercises, along with topical steroid creams, can sometimes help loosen the foreskin and improve its ability to retract, especially when you're erect. However, if these non-surgical methods don't work, frenuloplasty (surgery to release the frenulum) may be recommended
