I'm a 24-year-old and I've been using Viagra to have better sex. I'm worried because it's become a habit, and over the past year, my penis isn't getting as erect as it used to. It would get hard about 2 to 3 times a day before, but now it doesn't. Even during sex, it gets hard but goes soft really quickly. I'm wondering if this is happening because of the Viagra, and Id really like some advice on what I should do.

Taking Viagra regularly without medical advice can sometimes lead to psychological dependence, where natural erections feel less strong or consistent. Stress, anxiety, or underlying health issues can also contribute. To address this, avoid further use of Viagra for now, focus on a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep), and consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment options, such as managing psychological or hormonal factors.

View allI'm dealing with epididymitis that I found out about a month ago. I started antibiotics back then and the swelling went down a bit. Then my doctor switched me to a milder antibiotic, but after a week, the swelling didn't go away and actually got worse, turning into a hydrocele. So my doctor put me back on the old antibiotics. I've got a bunch of questions on my mind. Is epididymitis something that can actually be cured? And if so, how long should I expect it to take? What kind of care should I be taking, like should I change my diet or exercise routine? Is jogging, running, or hitting the gym something I can do? Are there specific foods or activities I need to steer clear of? Could this condition affect my sexual or married life? What precautions should I be taking? How about personal care, any specific things I need to focus on? Also, my doctor prescribed tablets that cost 100 Rs each; do antibiotics really cost that much?

I'm having a tough time dealing with varicocele on my left side, and it's been going on for about 2 years now. At first, it was really uncomfortable with a burning feeling and heaviness, and it felt like there was a bag of worms there. The burning has eased up, but there's still some heaviness and pain, which is worrying me. On top of that, I'm struggling with some fertility issues. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
You are experiencing symptoms of varicocele, which is the swelling of the veins inside the scrotum. To help alleviate the heaviness and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. For fertility issues related to varicocele, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Clomiphene to help increase sperm production. Surgery may also be recommended in some cases to repair the varicocele and improve fertility. It is important to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm really concerned about my girlfriend. I wanted to ask if it's necessary for her to undergo an operation related to the "daily testis" thing. Could you explain if that's what it means or what we should be doing about it?
this looks like epididimoorchitis which needs to be scaned and ruled out if it is moderate oral antibiotics would work if it is seviour tratment modality would differ , visit urologist for appropriate management.
