I've had varicocele surgery and I'm worried about long-term effects could it cause erection problems or other issues down the line? What should I expect after recovery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Varicocele surgery can improve sexual function and reduce the risk of infertility, but it doesn't guarantee perfect recovery. While some men experience improved erectile function after surgery, others may still struggle with erectile dysfunction, according to research cited by Cleveland Clinic. After surgery, you should expect a period of recovery, potentially including pain, swelling, and bruising, which typically resolves within a few weeks

View allI'm feeling a bit self-conscious about my erection size, which is about 10 cm. I'm wondering if there's any realistic way to increase it significantly, maybe to something like 55.5 inches? Is this even possible or am I aiming too high?
It's important to understand that penis size can vary greatly among individuals, and factors such as genetics play a significant role. While some treatments like exercises or devices claim to help, their effectiveness is often limited.

I've noticed this strange discomfort and occasional pain in my right testicle after I masturbate. It's become a bit of a concern because I usually do it once a day, sometimes twice. Could this be from doing it too much, and should I be worried about this? Is there anything I can do to stop it from happening?
Experiencing vague pain or discomfort in the right testicle can be a concerning symptom. It is possible that excessive masturbation may be contributing to this issue. To prevent further discomfort, you can try reducing the frequency of masturbation and ensuring proper lubrication during the act. Additionally, wearing supportive underwear and avoiding activities that put pressure on the testicles may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
