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.

View allI've been diagnosed with bilateral varicocele grade 1 on the right side and grade 2 on the left. Lately, I've noticed my testicles shrinking, along with weaker erections and lower sex drive. I've tried ayurvedic and homeopathic treatments, but I'm not sure if they're helping. What's the best way to treat this? Also, could surgery lead to fertility problems down the line?
For a bilateral varicocele with associated testicular shrinkage, weaker erections, and lower sex drive, the best course of action is to consult a urologist or reproductive endocrinologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan. While surgery is the most common and effective treatment, other options like embolization or lifestyle changes might be considered. Surgery, while generally safe, may have a small risk of impacting fertility, but this is often manageable
