I'm 21 and have been masturbating since I was 16, but didn't know the foreskin was retractable until recently. Now when I do it, I pull my skin back to the ridge, but I've never really been able to ejaculate fullyit just sort of dribbles out. Also, I've noticed my penis has a slight left bend from the base when erect. I think that might be due to how I wore pants as a kid. Is there a way to actually shoot sperm, or is there something wrong with what I'm doing?

You may have a condition called phimosis, which is when the foreskin is tight and cannot be fully retracted. This can sometimes affect ejaculation. I recommend you try using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone to help loosen the foreskin. As for the slight curvature of your penis, it is likely not related to your pant wearing style and is quite common. To improve your chances of ejaculating, you can try using medications like Sildenafil before sexual activity. If these issues persist, it would be best to consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.

I noticed a lump in my left testicle and after looking it up online I think it might be varicocele It doesn't hurt but feels uncomfortable Do I really need surgery for this and if so how long can I wait before getting it treated Im 22 and a bit worried about what to do next

Any time you find a lump in your testicle or scrotum, you should have it checked by your doctor as soon as possible. However, if the lump you're feeling is in fact a varicocele, it likely won't cause pain. While varicocele pain is not common, it can occur, especially as the varicocele becomes larger.

Can I make my penis longer and thicker with surgery and how much would it cost if it's possible

Yes, penile enlargement surgery is a possibility to increase both length and girth, but it's important to understand that it's often considered a cosmetic procedure and not a medical necessity. The cost can vary greatly, depending on the specific procedure, the surgeon's experience, and location, but it can range from tens of thousands of Rupees to hundreds of thousands of Rupees.

I'm dealing with an 8mm kidney stone in the upper pole and a 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction. Is there any way to treat this without going through surgery, or is surgery my only option?

The 8mm stone in the upper pole kidney and the 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction (VUJ) may be treatable without surgery, depending on symptoms and stone composition; options include Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) to break down the stones, or medical expulsive therapy (MET) with medications like alpha-blockers to help pass the stones naturally; however, consult a urologist to determine the best course of treatment based on your specific situation.
