I've had varicocele in my left testicle for the past 7 years and it's been causing me pain. I'm unmarried and wondering if this can be treated with medication or if I'll need surgery. What are my options?

A varicocelectomy is a surgical procedure that treats severe varicoceles that are painful or affect your fertility. A surgeon who specializes in conditions that affect your urinary system and reproductive system will cut your affected veins and seal off the ends.

I've been getting this weird tingling and shooting pain in my penis, especially after a long erection, but sometimes even without one. Could this be connected to bloating somehow? It's really concerning me.

Bloating typically doesn't directly cause nerve pain in the penis, but pressure from abdominal bloating might irritate nearby nerves, potentially leading to discomfort. Shooting pain in the penis after prolonged erection or randomly could be due to nerve sensitivity, strain, or other underlying issues like pelvic floor tension. If it persists, consult a doctor.

I'm having a problem where my foreskin doesn't stretch properly because it never did from childhood. This makes sex really painful for me. I'm really worried and unsure about what to do. Can you give me some advice on how to deal with this?

You likely have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract; consult a urologist or a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and discussion of treatment options,
