Steroid creams and stretching exercises can treat early phimosis. Consult a urologist to try this for 4‚Äì6 weeks before considering dorsal slit.

I've been diagnosed with varicocele and considering microsurgery can it actually cure the condition? Also, I've heard varicocele might mess with hormones could that be why I'm dealing with constant anxiety, confusion, and other weird symptoms? Are these things connected?

Question

I'm noticing some really concerning changes with my penile skin. After I masturbate, the skin on the head turns black, red, and purple, and I'm seeing several black spots even when I don't masturbate. It doesnt hurt or itch, but it kind of looks like the blood vessels might be broken. What could be causing this?
