I'm worried that my penis, which measures 13 cm when erect, might not be enough to satisfy my partner. This is affecting my confidence during sex. Can you tell me what the average length of an erect penis is? I'm just unsure if I fall within the normal range.

The average length of an erect penis is about 12-16 cm (4.7-6.3 inches), so your measurement is well within the normal range. Penile length is less important for sexual satisfaction than confidence, communication, and emotional connection with your partner. You are perfectly normal!

I've been diagnosed with varicocele and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure whether to go for open surgery or embolization which one has better recovery and fewer risks

Varicocele embolization typically offers a shorter recovery time and fewer risks compared to open varicocele surgery. Embolization, a minimally invasive procedure, has a recovery period of 1-2 days, while open surgery requires 2-4 weeks of recovery. Additionally, embolization has a lower risk of complications like testicular loss, hydrocele formation, and nerve injury compared to surgery.

I've just been told I have a small prostatic cyst that's about 6mm. Should I be worried about this? What's the typical treatment for something like this?

A 6mm prostatic cyst is generally considered small and may not be a cause for concern, as 5-8% of men have small prostatic cysts. However, it's essential to monitor it, as larger cysts can cause complications like urinary tract infections, hematuria, and voiding dysfunction. Treatment options vary depending on symptoms and cyst size. Small, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger or symptomatic cysts may need surgical excision, transurethral cyst catheterization, or other non-surgical interventions.
