I've been dealing with premature ejaculation and it's really starting to get to me. I'm looking for some advice on how I can manage this. Do you have any suggestions on what might help?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Premature ejaculation can be managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, counseling, and medical treatments. Techniques such as the "start-stop" method, pelvic exercises (Kegel exercises), and, if necessary, medications like SSRIs can be helpful. Consulting a healthcare provider for a personalized plan would be a good next step.

I've been taking steroids as a professional bodybuilder, but lately I noticed some changes in my left testicle it feels like there are extra veins or something. I looked it up and think it might be testicular varicocele, but I'm not sure. Could the steroids be causing this? Doctors always warn against steroids, but it's part of my job, so I can't stop. I know the risks, but this issue has me worried. Does varicocele need surgery, or can it heal on its own?
Get an Ultrasound and Doppler study of scrotum. Steroid has nothing to do with varicocele but it is possible due to heavy weight lifting. Please clarify what steroid you are taking. If corticosteroid like dexona, betnesol stop it gradually over many months. If testosterone or other anabolic steroid you can maintain these provided considering risk of infertility.

I've been masturbating since I was 15 and I'm 17 now. I've heard that it might lower zinc and testosterone levels, and it's really got me anxious. Could you please tell me if that's actually true?
Masturbation does not decrease zinc or testosterone levels significantly. It is a normal and healthy activity. To maintain healthy levels of zinc and testosterone, you can include zinc-rich foods in your diet such as oysters, beef, and nuts. If you have concerns about your testosterone levels, you can consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
