I've noticed some small, painless bumps on the foreskin of my penis. They've been there for over two months. I don't feel any itching, and they showed up around the time I last had sex. I was already tested, and the V.D.R.L. test came back negative. Should I be doing another test, or is there something else I can do? I'm really concerned about whether I might have an STD. I'm also considering sharing some pictures for reference. What do you think?

I've been diagnosed with a grade 2 varicocele on the left side of my scrotum should I be rushing to get surgery or is it okay to wait? I'm really into gym workouts and sports does having a varicocele mean I have to stop those activities completely? Also, is there any link between varicocele and frequent masturbation could it make the condition worse? If surgery is needed, which option is better laparoscopy or embolization?

With Varicocele Grade 2, you can still go to the gym, but take precautions to avoid exacerbating the condition: avoid heavy lifting, bending, or straining, wear supportive underwear or a jockstrap, and take regular breaks to rest and elevate your scrotum; however, consult your doctor or a urologist before starting

I noticed a small pea-sized cyst on my scrotum and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I see a urologist or a general surgeon to get it checked out? Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat it?

See a urologist first. If it‚Äôs an epidermoid cyst or sebaceous cyst, surgery is the cure. If inflamed, antibiotics may help first.
