I've been having some issues with my penile foreskinits really dry and cracked lately, and it hurts whenever I try to pull it up. A few days ago, I noticed red spots on the head of my penis, and it was really itchy. I tried using Dettol and warm water, which helped for a bit, but it's not a permanent fix. What might be causing this, and what should I do?

My penis size is very small and thin only 3.5 inches when erect. I really want to increase it. Does jelqing actually work? Also, does low testosterone affect size? And if there's a hormone imbalance, is it possible to grow my penis without surgery?

There's no scientific evidence that it works, and it might cause side effects like pain, irritation, and bruises. Rarely, jelqing can cause curving of the penis or erectile dysfunction. Talk to a doctor or sex therapist before you try jelqing or any other technique you find online

I've been diagnosed with grade 4 varicocele and have had pain in my lower abdomen and right testicle for about a month now. Are there any treatment options that don't involve surgery? The discomfort is really bothering me and I'm worried about what this means long-term

Yes, there are non-surgical treatments available for a grade 4 varicocele that can help manage the pain and discomfort you're experiencing. These options include pain relief medications and procedures like embolization or sclerotherapy. It's important to discuss all treatment options with your doctor to determine the best approach for your specific situation
