I've been having this dragging sensation and pain on the left side of my scrotum which my doctor says is varicocele and recommended surgery but I'm not sure if it's really necessary. Can varicocele heal on its own or are there other treatment options before considering surgery? The discomfort comes and goes but it's really bothering me during physical activity

While it's possible for a varicocele to improve or disappear on its own, particularly in adolescents, it's not a guarantee. In many cases, varicoceles persist and may even worsen over time. Your doctor's recommendation for surgery is likely based on your specific symptoms and how they're impacting your quality of life, especially during physical activity. There are other options to consider before surgery, but it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.

View allI'm having trouble when trying to get intimate with my wife because my penis seems to go loose quickly, and I'm not sure what's happening. I've been off some medications for pseudo-seizures like Zapiz, Topicon, and Pregabid for about six months now. Any thoughts on what the issue might be and if there are any medications I should consider?
It sounds like you may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend trying a medication called Viagra (Sildenafil) at a dose of 50mg taken 1 hour before sexual activity. This can help improve blood flow to the penis and assist with achieving and maintaining an erection. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you based on your medical history.

I've noticed some small, painless bumps on the foreskin of my penis. They've been there for over two months. I don't feel any itching, and they showed up around the time I last had sex. I was already tested, and the V.D.R.L. test came back negative. Should I be doing another test, or is there something else I can do? I'm really concerned about whether I might have an STD. I'm also considering sharing some pictures for reference. What do you think?
That could be STD visit nearest STD clinic or consult Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I'm really concerned about my penis size. It's quite small, and I'm looking for ways to increase both its size and breadth naturally. I want to do this without surgery but also stay healthy. Can you guide me on how I can achieve this?
It's important to note that most methods claiming to increase penis size are not proven to be effective. Focus on maintaining overall health through regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing stress, as these can improve blood circulation and sexual health. If you're concerned, consider consulting a healthcare provider to discuss any safe options.
