I'm a bit worried because I used to have random and morning erections, which I assumed were normal, but for the past month they've stopped completely. I also feel like my sex drive has really decreased. Is this something I should be concerned about, or could it be a normal phase?

It's not uncommon for sexual drive and erections to fluctuate due to factors like stress, lifestyle changes, or hormonal imbalances. However, if youve noticed a persistent decrease in libido and erectile function, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues like hormonal imbalances or other health conditions.

I'm 19 and I've recently stopped watching porn and masturbating. However, since then, I've been experiencing nightfall almost every day. Is there a way to address this issue or something I'm missing? I'm really looking for some advice here.

It's normal to experience nightfall (nocturnal emissions) during adolescence, especially after changes in sexual habits. It usually resolves on its own over time. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular sleep, stress management, and avoiding overstimulation can help reduce frequency. If it continues or concerns you, a visit to a doctor might provide further reassurance.

I have bilateral grade 1 varicocele and my left testicle hangs much lower and feels heavier than the right one. The urologist prescribed hetrazan and health okay tablets, but they aren't helping with the pain and discomfort. Should I consider surgery? What's the best type with the least complications?

While Grade 1 varicocele typically doesn't require surgery, if your symptoms persist, surgery might be considered. If the discomfort, testicle heaviness, and low hanging are persistent despite medication, exploring surgical options. Laparoscopic varicocelectomy is often the preferred approach due to its fewer complications and faster recovery
