I've had phimosis since birth and I'm not sure how to treat it. Can you tell me what works better steroid creams or surgery? I live in Bangalore and would like to know the best option for me.

Steroid creams work in early phimosis—if ineffective, surgery is best; consult a dermatologist or urologist in Bangalore.

View allI have a grade 1 varicocele on the left side do I really need surgery for this or are there other treatment options I can try first
A Grade 1 varicocele often doesn't require surgery, especially if it's not causing pain or other significant issues. Surgery might be considered if there are complications like reduced testicular function or infertility concerns. There are several other treatment options, including lifestyle adjustments and medications to manage pain and swelling

I noticed that the back side of the top of my penis got swollen after I masturbated last night. It's kind of worrying me. What could be going on, and what should I do about this?
Could be due to irritation or inflammation. I recommend using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the swelling and discomfort. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to the affected area twice a day for about a week. If the swelling does not improve or if you experience any pain, fever, or discharge, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Where does sperm go after vasectomy?
The sperm, which are made in the testicles, cannot pass through the vas deferens once they have been cut and tied, so they are reabsorbed by the body.
