I've been doing some research online and I think I might have balanitis. My foreskin is swollen and it's causing inflammation at the tip of the glans. Can you please help me figure out what I should do to treat this?

Balanitis can be treated with topical creams, such as clotrimazole or hydrocortisone, and practicing good hygiene, including gentle cleaning with warm water and avoiding harsh soaps; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm planning to get varicocele surgery but want to freeze my sperm as a backup just in case something goes wrong. I know the surgery might improve sperm count but I'd rather be safe. Can you tell me about the process, time, and cost for sperm freezing in Delhi?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm a bit worried because my sperm doesn't seem to shoot out like I thought it should. Is this a problem I should be concerned about? Also, how many times is it normal to ejaculate in one night?

I think it is normal that your sperm doesnt shoot out. In my experience the volume and power of ejaculation varies from orgasm to orgasm.Masturbation habit is a safe and healthy sexual practice before marriage. But masturbation not more than twice a week is ideal.

I'm 24 and have been experiencing some issues due to over-masturbation, like lower erection, semen leakage, and fatigue. I also find it hard to concentrate, and I feel like my strength is decreasing, which is messing with my mental state. I'm thinking about trying kohinoor gold plus and shilajit capsules to help with these side effects. Do you think they could be effective for someone in my situation?

No dont use such medicines without advice,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management
