View allI'm experiencing a lot of pain during sex and I'm not sure if it's because of a short frenulum or something else. I also have a hard time opening it properly when it becomes erect. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing pain due to a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis. This can be caused by a short frenulum. I recommend using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone (0.05%) to help loosen the foreskin. Apply a small amount to the tight area twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. If this does not improve your symptoms, you may need to consider a circumcision or a frenuloplasty procedure. Please consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been diagnosed with bilateral grade 1 varicocele and the meds aren't helping with the pain in my left testicle especially when lying down. When should I consider varicocelectomy and what's the best type of surgery for this condition?
If pain persists despite medication and is specifically exacerbated when lying down, consider varicocelectomy, especially if it's affecting fertility or quality of life. Microscopic or laparoscopic varicocelectomy are the preferred surgical options, offering potential benefits like less pain, faster recovery, and improved fertility
