I've been dealing with a kind of mild to medium pain in my testicles and I don't have any other symptoms. The doctor checked me out and mentioned something about slight epididymitis and put me on levofloxacin antibiotics. It's been about 10 days on the meds, but I'm not really seeing any change. Any idea why it's not improving? How long does it normally take for epididymitis to get better, and do you think trying a different antibiotic might help? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

I'm 13 and from Pune. I've been in the habit of masturbating daily, sometimes more than once, and now I'm worried because the skin on my penis has been pulled back. It seems like I've kind of circumcised myself due to all the rubbing, and it's freaking me out a bit. It's awkward because I don't know what my parents would think if they saw it. It's really stressing me out that my penis is now without foreskin. What should I do?

-It's understandable to feel upset, but it's important to remember that this is a natural part of growing up and not something to be ashamed of. You might want to talk to a trusted adult, like a doctor or parent, who can help you understand what's happeni

I have phimosis and I'm not sure if surgery is necessary or if it can be treated with medicines. If medicines can help, could you let me know which ones might work? Also, how do I know if I need surgery for this?

circumcision is advised.
