I'm having this pain on the left side of my shaft, and its really bothering me. I went to a urologist, and they mentioned the pain might be just my fear, but I can still feel it. Also, Ive got this varicocele in my left testicle. Could the pain be related to that? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on here.

A varicocele often produces no signs or symptoms. Rarely, it may cause pain. The pain may: Vary from sharp to dull discomfort Increase with standing or physical exertion, especially over long periods Worsen over the course of a day Be relieved when you lie on your back

I've been having some concerns about my testicles being really loose, both generally and during sex. Is this something I should be worried about? I mean, is it considered a disease, or is this normal for guys? I'd really like to know if there's a way to make my testicle sack tighter. Also, which kind of doctor should I see about this? Would it be a urologist or someone else?

Hello, its normal for the scrotum (testicle sack) to become loose or tighten depending on temperature or arousal. However, if youre concerned or experiencing discomfort, its best to consult a urologist who can evaluate your condition and provide guidance.

I've been getting this weird tingling and shooting pain in my penis, especially after a long erection, but sometimes even without one. Could this be connected to bloating somehow? It's really concerning me.

Bloating typically doesn't directly cause nerve pain in the penis, but pressure from abdominal bloating might irritate nearby nerves, potentially leading to discomfort. Shooting pain in the penis after prolonged erection or randomly could be due to nerve sensitivity, strain, or other underlying issues like pelvic floor tension. If it persists, consult a doctor.
