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?

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.

I've been masturbating twice a day for the last 45 years, and I've never actually had sex with someone before. Last night, I tried to get intimate with my girlfriend, and I found out that my penis wasn't getting hard enough for sex. It was really disappointing, and now I'm worried. Any suggestions on what I should do?

It's natural to feel worried, but occasional difficulty with erections can happen due to stress, anxiety, or overthinking. Masturbation habits aren't usually the cause. Try to relax, focus on the moment, and reduce stress. If the issue persists, consulting a doctor can help rule out physical or psychological factors.

I've been looking for a local dermatologist and found some profiles that mention they're also sexologists. I'm a bit unsure though, can I talk to them about male sexual issues? I'm not too comfortable going anywhere in person right now. What sort of sexual problems can a dermatologist handle if they're saying they are a sexologist too? Are they able to treat things like PE and ED?
