I've had small lumps or cysts on both sides of my scrotum for about five years now they haven't grown or changed much. Is there any way to treat them without surgery or do I just need to leave them alone?

I'm a bit worried about something that's been happening with my husband. We're both younghe's 32 and I'm 21and we've been married for six months. For the first five months, everything was fine, and he was able to insert his penis into my vagina. But for the past month, he hasn't been able to do that because it doesn't get strong enough. He can still release sperm, but the penis doesn't stay firm enough to insert. What could be causing this, and what should we do?

Your husband may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend he consult with a doctor to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, he can try using sildenafil (Viagra) before sexual activity to help with achieving and maintaining an erection. Remember to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by the doctor.

I'm having this issue where it's really itchy inside my penis, and it's happening pretty often. I'm married, so I'm not sure what it might be. Should I see a doctor? And if I do, what exactly should I tell them about what's going on? Any ideas on what could help with this would be great.

Yes, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the cause of the itching inside your penis, which could be due to a fungal or bacterial infection, allergy, or skin condition; be honest with your doctor, sharing details about the itching, such as when it started, frequency, and any other symptoms like discharge, redness, or pain; your doctor may perform a physical examination, take a sample for testing, and prescribe treatment, which could include antifungal or antibacterial medications, creams, or ointments.

I've had a lump on my scrotum for about 10-12 years now. It started as a small pimple but slowly turned into a bigger lump. It doesn't hurt even when I press it, but it looks bad and bothers me a lot. I'm worried it might cause issues later. Can you tell me if I can treat it with medicine or if I'll need surgery to remove it?

A spermatocele happens when a cyst grows in the epididymis, a tube in each of your testicles that contains fluid and unused sperm. It doesn't cause any pain, but you can feel a spermatocele as a tiny, firm lump underneath the skin of the scrotum. Spermatoceles are harmless and can't become cancerous
