My penis has always curved to the left and I recently got a penile Doppler test that showed small plaques. The doctor said surgery is the only option but only if sex is uncomfortable. I want to straighten it but I'm worried about surgery risks. Are there any other treatments like penile traction devices that could work?

I've had this issue with my left testicle for about 5 months now and I'm really worried. Three doctors gave me different opinions one said I need surgery, another said it's just filled with dirty stuff and gave me pain meds. I work a lot lifting heavy cartons (30-50 kg), go to the gym, run fast for 20 minutes, and cycle 5-10 km weekly. I also have sex once a week, sometimes with condoms, sometimes without, plus hand jobs. I smoke sheesha twice a week. My left ball still hurts should I get surgery or just wait? Looking for a good doctor in Mumbai to fix this. My English isn't great, sorry.

Your left testicle in particular is more vulnerable to a number of conditions, such as varicoceles, caused by vein problems, and testicular torsion, which is a twisting of the testicle inside the scrotum.kindly consult urologist

I've had this issue for about 20 days now. It started with a light bluish discoloration on my glans, and then turned whitish. Sometimes there's a mild burning sensation over the glans too. Usually, its pink in color. What could be going on? Should I be worried about this change?

If the discoloration persists or worsens after trying basic care measures. If you have other symptoms, like discharge, fever, or severe pain. cosult urologist
