I'm a bit concerned because I masturbated today but didn't ejaculate any sperm, though it felt like I did. I recently found out I have a 5mm kidney stone and have been on medication for a couple of days. Could the meds or the stone be affecting this, or should I be worried about something else?

I noticed a lump in my left testicle and after looking it up online I think it might be varicocele It doesn't hurt but feels uncomfortable Do I really need surgery for this and if so how long can I wait before getting it treated Im 22 and a bit worried about what to do next

Any time you find a lump in your testicle or scrotum, you should have it checked by your doctor as soon as possible. However, if the lump you're feeling is in fact a varicocele, it likely won't cause pain. While varicocele pain is not common, it can occur, especially as the varicocele becomes larger.
