I'm a bit worried because I've been masturbating twice a week for the past four years and now my left testicle is hurting. What should I do about the pain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Testicle pain can have various causes, including infections or inflammation. In your case, it is important to rule out any underlying infection. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, you should consider using a scrotal support to alleviate discomfort. It is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment, as you may need antibiotics if there is an infection present.

View allI've noticed a red thin worm, kind of like a thread, when I pee at night. It's freaking me out a bit, and I'm itching with pretty frequent discharges. Plus, I have diabetes, so I'm worried if it's related. What should I do?
The presence of a thin, red, thread-like worm in your urine, accompanied by itching and frequent discharges, may indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI) or a parasitic infection like filariasis or schistosomiasis; as a diabetic, you're more prone to UTIs, so consult your healthcare provider or a urologist promptly for a thorough evaluation, including urine tests and possibly imaging studies, to determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or antiparasitic medications.

I'm 28, married, and dealing with phimosis where my tight foreskin makes sex painful and affects my performance. Are there any treatments to loosen the skin without surgery?
Yes, there are non-surgical treatments for phimosis, including topical steroid creams and gentle stretching exercises. These can help reduce inflammation, improve elasticity, and make the foreskin easier to retract.

I'm really struggling with an addiction to masturbation over the last 10 years, sometimes doing it multiple times in a day. I've noticed my penis has become quite large and bent to one side, and my scrotum is bigger than usual too. This has made it hard for me to wear pants comfortably, and I'm feeling pretty depressed about it. Is there any way to reduce the size or reshape them to a more manageable size? Would love to hear your advice on how I can address this situation.
Excessive masturbation and friction may have caused penile curvature (Peyronies disease) or swelling. Enlarged scrotum could indicate other issues like hydrocele or varicocele. Consult a urologist for evaluation and tailored treatment options to address size concerns and any emotional distress.
