Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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:

1. _Listen to your body_: If you experience increased discomfort or pain after masturbation, consider reducing the frequency or intensity.
2. _Moderation is key_: Masturbating 1-2 times a week is unlikely to have a significant impact on varicocele.
3. _Focus on overall health_: Prioritize a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management, to help alleviate varicocele symptoms.

_Varicocele management:_

1. _Consult a urologist_: Get a proper diagnosis and discuss treatment options with a urologist.
2. _Lifestyle modifications_: Make changes to your daily routine, such as wearing supportive underwear, avoiding heavy lifting, and managing stress.
3. _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.
