I'm really into sex and usually have a great time, but I've noticed that after the first round, it takes me more than 5 hours to get an erection again. It's starting to worry me. Any advice on what might be going on or how I can improve this?

It's normal for recovery time after sex (the refractory period) to vary between individuals, and it may lengthen with age or fatigue. Staying hydrated, reducing stress, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help. If the issue persists, consult a doctor to rule out hormonal or circulation-related concerns.

View allHad circumcision surgery a month ago on May 5th but still can't wear underwear directly using cotton to cover it. The stitches haven't dissolved yet and there's high sensitivity in the open area, plus some pain when touching the stitches. How much longer until it heals completely and I can get back to normal?
Wear loose clothing for example: pyjamas, tracksuit bottoms for the first few days. It is advisable to try and avoid wearing underwear, do so until you feel comfortable enough to resume wearing them. It is advisable especially if your work is heavy (manual, driving) to stay off work for at least one week.

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed my semen looks brown, and I'm not sure if it's blood or something else. There's no pain when I ejaculate, but I still feel uneasy about it. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?
Brown semen could indicate the presence of blood, which may be due to various reasons such as infections, prostate issues, or other underlying conditions. However, since you do not experience any pain when ejaculating, it is less likely to be a serious issue. I recommend you to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I have grade 4 varicocele and azoospermia with zero sperm count could the varicocele be causing this? IVF clinics are recommending TESA since I'm trying for a child, but I'm unsure whether to go for varicocele surgery first or proceed directly with TESA to improve my chances of having sperm
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
