I've just turned 17 and I've never really tried masturbating before, but I've had a few instances of night fall, and I'm kind of wondering if that's normal. Is there something wrong with me because of this?

Nightfall, also known as nocturnal emission, is a normal and common occurrence in adolescent males, especially during puberty, and it's not necessarily related to masturbation; as long as you're not experiencing other symptoms like pain, difficulty urinating, or excessive frequency, there's likely no cause for concern, but if you're worried, consider speaking with a healthcare provider or a trusted adult for guidance.

I've had a hydrocele in my left testis for the past 4 years and the size hasn't changed but for the last month there's been very mild pain. Doctors suggest surgery but I'd prefer not to go that route. Is there any effective homeopathy or ayurvedic treatment that can help with this condition

While homeopathy and Ayurveda offer alternative approaches, there's limited scientific evidence to support their efficacy in treating hydroceles definitively. Conventional medical treatment, such as surgery (hydrocelectomy), is the generally recommended approach when hydroceles cause significant pain, discomfort, or complications

I'm wondering if Viagra can help with ejaculation issues, particularly when trying to conceive. I'm also curious if there's a version of Viagra that might help with anxiety, maybe just for a one-time use. Can you give some advice on this?
