This morning I noticed a little pain when I touched my right testicle, and now I'm worried. Does this seem like something serious? Should I see an andrologist or a urologist about this? Could this be related to masturbation?

I'm really concerned about the impact of circumcision on my sexual experience. I've heard it might lower pleasure and reduce interest. Is there any truth to this?

I've been having this dragging sensation and pain on the left side of my scrotum which my doctor says is varicocele and recommended surgery but I'm not sure if it's really necessary. Can varicocele heal on its own or are there other treatment options before considering surgery? The discomfort comes and goes but it's really bothering me during physical activity

While it's possible for a varicocele to improve or disappear on its own, particularly in adolescents, it's not a guarantee. In many cases, varicoceles persist and may even worsen over time. Your doctor's recommendation for surgery is likely based on your specific symptoms and how they're impacting your quality of life, especially during physical activity. There are other options to consider before surgery, but it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.
