I'm having a tough time dealing with varicocele on my left side, and it's been going on for about 2 years now. At first, it was really uncomfortable with a burning feeling and heaviness, and it felt like there was a bag of worms there. The burning has eased up, but there's still some heaviness and pain, which is worrying me. On top of that, I'm struggling with some fertility issues. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?

You are experiencing symptoms of varicocele, which is the swelling of the veins inside the scrotum. To help alleviate the heaviness and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. For fertility issues related to varicocele, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Clomiphene to help increase sperm production. Surgery may also be recommended in some cases to repair the varicocele and improve fertility. It is important to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

View allI've been dealing with a urine infection since this morning. I'm not experiencing much itching or pain, but I feel a constant pressure to pee frequently. There's no intense pain or burning, just a slight burning sensation for a couple of seconds when I actually pass urine. I've been drinking a lot of liquids to help with this. Can you suggest any medicine or remedies since I can't find a doctor nearby right now?
It sounds like a mild urinary tract infection. Continue drinking plenty of water, as this helps flush out bacteria. If symptoms persist or worsen, take a urinary alkalizer like potassium citrate sachets (e.g., Cital) to ease burning. Seek medical advice soon for a proper antibiotic if needed. Rest well!

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I'm having a bit of a situation. My foreskin doesn't seem to retract on its own when I'm erect, and I can't really pull it back manually either because it's too tight. I can pull it back fine when I'm not erect though. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?
It sounds like you have phimosis, which is a common condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully during an erection. Regular gentle stretching exercises with a steroid cream prescribed by a doctor can help, but if it persists, consult a urologist to discuss further options like a minor surgical procedure (circumcision or preputioplasty).

I've noticed a small pea-sized lump inside the shaft of my penis this morning. It's not painful, but I'm a bit concerned. I had sex last nightcould this lump be related to that? What could it possibly be?
