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 having trouble with the foreskin of my penis not retracting to expose the head, and I'm really concerned about keeping things hygienic. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

It sounds like you might be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract. Gently stretching the foreskin over time may help, but if the problem persists, a doctor can recommend treatments such as topical steroids or, in some cases, a minor procedure. For hygiene, clean the area gently with warm water to avoid infections. Please consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
