I've been diagnosed with phimosis and need surgery soon which option is safer and better, laser or ZSR? I'm really worried and want to make the right choice quickly.

Laser circumcision is actually the permanent solution for phimosis. So, if your doctor recommends you undergoing laser circumcision or stapler circumcision, be assured that it is the safest procedure and inflicts minimal pain

View allI'm a bit worried because I've been masturbating twice a week for the past four years and now my left testicle is hurting. What should I do about the pain?
Testicle pain can have various causes, including infections or inflammation. In your case, it is important to rule out any underlying infection. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, you should consider using a scrotal support to alleviate discomfort. It is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment, as you may need antibiotics if there is an infection present.

I'm feeling a bit confused about who to see for issues with erectile dysfunction. Should I be looking for a urologist or is an andrologist the right specialist? What's the actual difference between the two?
Mild splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) can coexist, but it's unclear if the enlarged spleen is directly causing your digestive issues. _Possible connections:_ 1. *Splenic flexure syndrome*: An enlarged spleen can put pressure on the splenic flexure (a part of the colon), leading to digestive issues like bloating, abdominal pain, and changes in bowel movements. 2. *Immune system imbalance*: The spleen plays a role in immune function. An enlarged spleen might contribute to immune system imbalances, which could exacerbate IBS symptoms. 3. *Inflammation*: Splenomegaly can be associated with chronic inflammation, which might worsen IBS symptoms. _However, it's essential to note:_ 1. *IBS is a complex condition*: IBS has multiple factors contributing to its development, including gut motility, hypersensitivity, and psychological factors. 2. *Mild splenomegaly might not be the primary cause*: Your IBS symptoms might be unrelated to the enlarged spleen, or the spleen might be only one of several contributing factors.

Im a 23-year-old guy dealing with something unusual lately. My left testicle feels like it's vibrating, and occasionally the right one does too. It started happening the morning after I masturbated the night before. Plus, my left testicle seems a bit softer than the right one. My penis shakes sometimes as well. Its been like this for the past four days. Sometimes everything feels normal, and Im wondering if I should be worried or if this will sort itself out. Any ideas on what might be going on?
Sounds like you may be experiencing some testicular discomfort and changes in sensation. These symptoms could be due to various reasons such as muscle spasms, nerve irritation, or even underlying medical conditions. I recommend you to take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can apply a cold pack to the affected area to help reduce any swelling or discomfort. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
