My foreskin covers the glans a bit and I can't fully retract it when I'm erect. Is this something that might need surgery or can it be managed another way?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If your foreskin only covers the glans slightly and you can't retract it fully, it might not need surgery. You could try gentle stretching exercises, or a urologist may recommend steroid creams. Surgery (circumcision) is a last resort if the condition causes pain or recurrent infections.

I've been diagnosed with bilateral varicocele grade 1 on the right side and grade 2 on the left. Lately, I've noticed my testicles shrinking, along with weaker erections and lower sex drive. I've tried ayurvedic and homeopathic treatments, but I'm not sure if they're helping. What's the best way to treat this? Also, could surgery lead to fertility problems down the line?
For a bilateral varicocele with associated testicular shrinkage, weaker erections, and lower sex drive, the best course of action is to consult a urologist or reproductive endocrinologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan. While surgery is the most common and effective treatment, other options like embolization or lifestyle changes might be considered. Surgery, while generally safe, may have a small risk of impacting fertility, but this is often manageable
