I've noticed that one of my testicles, the right one specifically, seems to hang lower than it used to. I'm 21 and just had a full body check where everything seemed fine, and the doctor checked my testicles but didn't touch them, just took a good look. I hit the gym pretty regularly and wear tight shortsI'm wondering if that or the lifting might be affecting this. I also have another medical exam soon before I start work on a ship. Could this lower-hanging testicle be something I should worry about?

It's possible that lifting heavy weights or wearing tight shorts could cause some temporary changes in the position of your testicle, but if your doctor didn't find any issues during your last checkup, it likely isn't a cause for concern. However, if you notice persistent discomfort or other symptoms, it's a good idea to mention it during your next medical checkup before heading to the ship.

View allMy brother has partial phimosis and we're considering surgery but I was wondering if there's a cream or tablet that could help loosen the skin so he can retract it fully without needing an operation
Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin. This makes it easier to retract the foreskin without experiencing severe pain or discomfort. Just apply the cream or ointment in the area around the head of the penis twice or thrice a day

I've been experiencing a tickling sensation when I urinate, along with the frequent urge to go every 30 minutes, for the last 56 days. Every time I finish, it feels a bit like a mini orgasm. Sometimes it gets a little itchy, but there's no blood or burning sensation. I've been drinking around 7-8 glasses of water a day, eating home-cooked meals that aren't too oily or spicy. Everything else seems normal. Should I be worried or get this checked out?
It sounds like you might be experiencing mild irritation or possibly a urinary tract infection (UTI), which can cause the sensations you're describing. Even though there's no burning or blood, the frequent urge to urinate and tickling sensation can still be signs of a UTI or another issue. If it persists, I would recommend consulting a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm 13 and from Pune. I've been in the habit of masturbating daily, sometimes more than once, and now I'm worried because the skin on my penis has been pulled back. It seems like I've kind of circumcised myself due to all the rubbing, and it's freaking me out a bit. It's awkward because I don't know what my parents would think if they saw it. It's really stressing me out that my penis is now without foreskin. What should I do?
-It's understandable to feel upset, but it's important to remember that this is a natural part of growing up and not something to be ashamed of. You might want to talk to a trusted adult, like a doctor or parent, who can help you understand what's happeni
