I'm noticing some brown coloring on a part of the head of my penis. It doesn't hurt or irritate me, but it's made me anxious recently. I've only been pulling back my foreskin for about a year now, and I'm avoiding touching the head of my penis directly. Should I be concerned about this change in color?

The brown coloration on the area of your penis head could be due to a variety of reasons, including pigmentation changes, fungal infection, or even a benign mole. Since it has been present for a year and is not causing any symptoms, it is less likely to be a concerning issue. However, it is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.

I've had a left side varicocele for about a year now and need microsurgery but most doctors in Maharashtra are suggesting open surgery instead. Do they use any magnification during open surgery or is microsurgery the better option here? Also, can you recommend specialists in Maharashtra who perform microsurgery for varicocele?

Microsurgical varicocelectomy, which uses magnification, is generally considered the preferred option for varicocele treatment due to its lower complication rates and higher success rates in preserving testicular function and fertility compared to open surgery. While open surgery may involve some magnification (loupes), it doesn't offer the same level of precision and visualization as a microscope used in microsurgery

I masturbate almost every day and I'm wondering if that's okay or if it could be a problem. Im also curious about ways to last longer when ejaculating. If I decide to cut down on how often I masturbate, is it manageable? Is once a day considered normal?

Normal, nothing to worry ok.
