My testicles have been feeling loose and painful for the past two years. The urologist said there's nothing to worry about since the echo test results were positive, but I'm still concerned. Could this discomfort be related to a lack of nutrients in my body? Could you please help clarify this for me?

Anal fissures can be sensitive and delicate during the healing process.

Having sex with your partner may pose some risks:

1. Discomfort or pain during intercourse
2. Reopening or exacerbating the fissure
3. Introducing bacteria, potentially leading to infection

To minimize risks, consider:

1. Waiting until your fissure is fully healed (usually 4-6 weeks)
2. Using lubricants and gentle positions to reduce discomfort
3. Practicing good hygiene and cleaning the area before and after sex

Consult your doctor or a gastroenterologist for personalized advice.
