It's been a year since my hydrocele surgery and I don't have any pain, but my right testicle still looks bigger than the left one. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

View allI have a grade 1 varicocele on the left side do I really need surgery for this or are there other treatment options I can try first
A Grade 1 varicocele often doesn't require surgery, especially if it's not causing pain or other significant issues. Surgery might be considered if there are complications like reduced testicular function or infertility concerns. There are several other treatment options, including lifestyle adjustments and medications to manage pain and swelling

I recently had a zsr circumcision on February 22nd and now all the staples along with the silicon ring have fallen off. There's just a tiny bit still attached to the skin and when I try to remove it, it hurts a little, which is really freaking me out. I'm worried that pulling it might cause some other issues. Could you tell me if it's safe to pull it off myself? Also, I'm curious if I can now engage in sexual activities like intercourse or masturbation.
It is not advisable to pull off the remaining portion yourself as it may lead to complications. I recommend visiting your doctor for proper evaluation and guidance on how to proceed. As for sexual activity, it is best to avoid it until you have fully healed to prevent any potential issues or infections.

I'm a 40-year-old guy, married, and I've just been told I have an STD. I'm trying to understand what symptoms to look out for in men so I can see if they match up. Is this something that'll affect me for the rest of my life? Could I actually die from this? And after getting treatment, is there a chance it'll come back? Also, can I pass it on to someone else?
STD is a group of diseases and symptoms depends on the type of diseases you are infected with,usually there could be penile discharge,ulcers over penile shaft,warts,rashesetc.,and STDs are curable there are successful treatment plans which are dealt by dermatologist,and yes always STDs spread from person to person through sex or body fluids
