Right testicle isn't descended according to the sonography report - should we be worried about this? Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments we can try first? My main concern is whether this could cause problems later if left untreated

If the testicles don't descend by 6 months, it's very unlikely they will without treatment. In this case, a surgical procedure called an orchidopexy will be recommended to reposition one or both testicles. The operation should ideally be carried out before your child's 12 months old.

I'm really curious about how mast**u**rbation affects testosterone levels. Like, is there a frequency that's considered okay or safe? I'm just a bit worried because I've read that doing it too much can mess with testosterone, and I want to make sure I'm not unintentionally causing any issues. Can you share any insights on how often it's alright without it impacting testosterone levels?

Masturbation does not significantly affect testosterone levels in the long term. Its generally safe and normal to masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, as long as it doesnt interfere with your daily life, relationships, or responsibilities.

I'm dealing with a lot of discomfort because the skin at the tip of my penis doesnt retract during sex, and it ends up causing pain. Even though I dont have issues while masturbating, the foreskin just wont move back, not even a little, and its really affecting my ability to have sex. What could be going on, and what should I do about it?

It sounds like you may have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract. This can cause discomfort during sex. I recommend consulting a urologist to explore treatment options, which may include topical steroids or, in some cases, a minor surgical procedure to improve the condition.
