Pain in the left testicle that comes and goes can be caused by various factors, such as muscle strain, epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis), or even testicular torsion, although the latter is typically more sudden and severe. If the pain persists or is accompanied by swelling or other symptoms, it's important to see a healthcare provider for an evaluation and to rule out any serious conditions.

I'm wondering if Viagra can help with ejaculation issues, particularly when trying to conceive. I'm also curious if there's a version of Viagra that might help with anxiety, maybe just for a one-time use. Can you give some advice on this?
