View allI'm a bit worried about the mild varicocele diagnosis I got for my left testicle. The doctors mentioned they can't do much. I used to enjoy working out at the gym, but now, any kind of exercise seems to bring back the pain in my abdomen and testicle. I'm curious if going to the gym could have caused this varicocele? I generally stayed away from heavy lifting and mostly focused on weight-bearing and abs workouts. Is there anything I can do to manage this or any advice on what exercises are safe?
Varicocele is usually caused by the enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, often referred to as the "pampiniform plexus." While heavy lifting exercises can potentially exacerbate varicocele, any form of physical activity that increases intra-abdominal pressure, such as weight-bearing and abs workouts, can also contribute to the development or worsening of varicocele. It is advisable to avoid activities that strain the abdominal muscles and increase pressure in the scrotum. To alleviate symptoms and reduce discomfort, you can consider wearing a scrotal support or compression underwear during physical activities. Additionally, you may benefit from taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen to manage any discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm having this issue where it's really itchy inside my penis, and it's happening pretty often. I'm married, so I'm not sure what it might be. Should I see a doctor? And if I do, what exactly should I tell them about what's going on? Any ideas on what could help with this would be great.
Yes, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the cause of the itching inside your penis, which could be due to a fungal or bacterial infection, allergy, or skin condition; be honest with your doctor, sharing details about the itching, such as when it started, frequency, and any other symptoms like discharge, redness, or pain; your doctor may perform a physical examination, take a sample for testing, and prescribe treatment, which could include antifungal or antibacterial medications, creams, or ointments.

I've been struggling with this issue for the past two years where I can't fully penetrate my girlfriend because my erection doesn't stay hard enough, and I end up ejaculating within just a few seconds, even before actually getting in. The only way I can manage penetration is if I take kutub 30x 50mg or penegra 50mg about an hour before we're intimate. I'm really unsure about what's going on, and I'd appreciate any advice you might have on how to deal with this. Can you help?
