I've had varicocele for about a year now and it's really affecting my daily life - can't sit comfortably or ride without pain kicking in sometimes. Is there any way to manage this or get rid of it without needing surgery? What would you suggest for relief?

I've been dealing with a paper cut on my foreskin. I went to see a general physician and took some medication. It seemed to be getting better for a while, but now it feels like it's come back. Im really worried about why it's not healing properly. Could this be a sign of something more serious, and what should I do next?

it has to heal completely ,you shouldn't stretch till it heals, if it's minor injury it will heal without any scar formation , don't have sexual intercourse till it heals , only after complete heal involve in sexual activities.
