I'm having trouble getting my penis to become fully hard, even when I'm aroused. I have a feeling it might be because I've been masturbating quite a bit lately. Could this be affecting my ability to get a proper erection? Any advice on what I should do?

I'm getting this weird stomach pain, especially on the lower left side, whenever I wear a belt or tight pants. It's uncomfortable, and if I'm wearing loose pajamas or shorts, the pain doesn't happen. Sometimes there's even a bit of discomfort in the testicle area. This has been going on for a while now, and I'm starting to wonder if it's something I should see a doctor about, or if it might just go away on its own. Any ideas or advice?

It sounds like you might be experiencing pressure-related discomfort, possibly due to a hernia, nerve irritation, or another underlying issue. It's best to consult a doctor to evaluate this, as early treatment can prevent complications. In the meantime, avoid tight clothing.

Can spermatocele be treated effectively with Ayurvedic medicines or is surgery the only option to get rid of the cyst

Most spermatoceles remain small in size and cause few or no symptoms. You don't need treatment if a spermatocele doesn't cause pain or discomfort. If you have long-term pain or discomfort, a provider may recommend surgery to get rid of a spermatocele
