I'm really struggling with some issues regarding my penis. It seems to have gotten quite small, and I feel awkward when I'm peeing because I make an effort to hide it from others. When it does get hard, it's not as firm as I'd like, and I often experience early leakage. Can you guide me on what might be happening and suggest possible solutions?

The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches. There's more variation in the size of flaccid penises.
Some guys are genuinely smaller than that. In rare cases, genetics and hormone problems cause a condition called micropenis ...Sometimes Peyronie's disease can reduce a guy's size.
Losing weight will reveal more of that hidden shaft that's buried beneath belly fat. It doesn't actually increase your size, but it will look that way..

View allI've been diagnosed with grade 2 varicocele and have some pain in my testes, especially when walking. My doctor said surgery isn't needed since it's grade 2, but I'm still feeling uncomfortable. Should I get a second opinion or is it okay to manage it without surgery?
It's reasonable to seek a second opinion if you're experiencing discomfort despite your doctor's assessment that surgery isn't necessary for a grade 2 varicocele. While conservative management (like pain relievers and scrotal support) is often sufficient for mild cases, persistent pain warrants further evaluation. A second opinion can offer different perspectives and treatment options, including potentially exploring embolization, a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure

I have grade 2 varicocele on the left side and grade 1 on the right, with a sperm count of 8 million/ml and very low motility at 10% and morphology at 1%. I'm considering surgery but unsure which method is better laparoscopic or microsurgery. What's the difference between these two in terms of repairing varicocele, and which one would be more suitable for my condition?

I'm worried about my recent ultrasound results. It says I have left renal cortical cysts and grade II fatty changes in my liver, plus something called prostatomegaly. The report mentions that my left kidney is normal in size and there's no evidence of any stones or hydronephrosis. There are two cystic lesions at the lower pole, one of which is pretty big. Should I be concerned about these findings, especially the cysts and liver changes? What do these terms really mean for my health?
The pain you're experiencing after vomiting could be due to: 1. Irritation and inflammation of the esophagus (food pipe) from stomach acid. 2. Potential tears or ulcers in the esophagus or throat. 3. Spasms or constriction of the esophagus. To alleviate the discomfort: - Stay hydrated with water and electrolyte-rich drinks. - Avoid solid foods for a while; opt for bland, soft foods like yogurt or soup. - Over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac may help. - If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention.
