Sure, I've been feeling a bit concerned about my sex life recently. You see, I've been taking Lithium and Thyroid medication for years, and I'm wondering if my issues with ED and the anxiety that comes with it are linked to the meds or maybe something like low testosterone levels? I have bipolar disorder, and I'm generally quite active sexually, even though work and having a young child have put sex lower on the list. Both my spouse and I miss the frequency and intensity we used to have when we first got married, and it's becoming a point of tension. Any advice on how to improve things?

I've had a hydrocele in my right testicle since 2008 and got surgery in 2015, but the size still isn't normal and it hurts when I touch it. Why hasn't it gone back to normal and what could be causing the pain even after surgery?

It's understandable to be concerned about the persistence of your hydrocele and the pain you're experiencing. While hydrocele surgery, or hydrocelectomy, is usually successful, there are instances where the hydrocele may not completely resolve or cause post-surgical pain

I've been dealing with a urinary tract infection that lasted for nearly 2 months, from mid-February to mid-April. I initially thought this was why I couldn't ejaculate after masturbation during that period. Even though I'm now cured of the UTI, I'm worried because things aren't back to normal. After an orgasm, only a little semen comes out, and my penis feels really dry all the time. I'm really scared about this situation but I'm hesitant to visit a doctor because I'm still single. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Hi there..dry ejaculation ie man doesn't ejaculate semen after climax or releases very little.. many causes like repeated ejaculations use up al body's semen and hence further ejaculate can be dry, or Blocked sperm duct (ejaculatory duct obstruction), Certain medications used to treat high blood pressure, enlarged prostate and mood disorders, Genetic abnormalities of the reproductive system, Male hypogonadism (testosterone deficiency), retrograde ejaculation is common cause of dry ejaculate. Any surgery done over prostate, urethra could also cause.. sometimes dehydration also causes less semen.. have more fluids, don't be anxious about this, have proper nutritious food, maintain hygiene in private parts.. consult sexologist and urologist once.. there is nothing to be ashamed or scared to visit doctor for this problem since your single, as this needs evaluation and treatment as this could lead to infertility in future.
