What's the best way to treat balanitis? I've been dealing with these scars on my foreskin that keep coming back every few days. I started using a fungal cream that my doctor recommended, but it's been about 15 days and I'm not seeing an improvement. What should I do?

Varicocele can be uncomfortable.
Masturbation and varicocele:
Masturbation is unlikely to worsen varicocele directly. However, frequent or vigorous masturbation can increase blood flow to the genital area, potentially exacerbating varicocele discomfort.
Safe interval for masturbation:
There's no specific recommended interval for masturbation in relation to varicocele. However, consider the following:
- Listen to your body: If you experience increased discomfort or pain after masturbation, consider reducing the frequency or intensity.
- Moderation is key: Masturbating 1-2 times a week is unlikely to have a significant impact on varicocele.
- Focus on overall health: Prioritize a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management, to help alleviate varicocele symptoms.
Varicocele management:
- Consult a urologist: Get a proper diagnosis and discuss treatment options with a urologist.
- Lifestyle modifications: Make changes to your daily routine, such as wearing supportive underwear, avoiding heavy lifting, and managing stress.
- Surgery or embolization: In some cases, surgery or embolization may be necessary to treat varicocele.
Remember to consult a urologist for personalized advice on managing your varicocele.

I'm a bit concerned about a situation I've been experiencing. Whenever I imagine having sex, my sperm seems to come out without any physical stimulation like rubbing my penis. I'm not married yet, and I'm worried this might create problems for me when I do get married. Could this indicate that Im dealing with some kind of medical issue? What should I do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing **premature ejaculation** or **nocturnal emissions** (wet dreams), which are common in many men, especially when experiencing sexual thoughts or fantasies. This isn't typically a sign of any disease but could be related to heightened sexual arousal or stress. If you're concerned or if it affects your daily life, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.

I've had a left side varicocele for about a year now and need microsurgery but most doctors in Maharashtra are suggesting open surgery instead. Do they use any magnification during open surgery or is microsurgery the better option here? Also, can you recommend specialists in Maharashtra who perform microsurgery for varicocele?
Microsurgical varicocelectomy, which uses magnification, is generally considered the preferred option for varicocele treatment due to its lower complication rates and higher success rates in preserving testicular function and fertility compared to open surgery. While open surgery may involve some magnification (loupes), it doesn't offer the same level of precision and visualization as a microscope used in microsurgery
