I'm concerned about the size of my penis because it feels smaller than it used to be. I used to think it was long enough, but now I'm not so sure. I masturbate regularly, but not as often as I used to. Can you help me understand what's going on and if there's a way to make it bigger?

To address your concern, focus on overall penis health rather than solely pursuing enlargement methods; regular masturbation is normal, but excessive frequency may lead to temporary size fluctuations; consider maintaining a balanced lifestyle, including a healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep; also, be aware that there's no scientifically proven method to significantly increase penis size, and beware of unverified claims or products promising enlargement.

Can varicocele heal on its own with yoga or other natural methods without needing surgery Also does frequent masturbation cause varicocele to develop

Varicocele typically doesn't resolve on its own and may even worsen over time. Surgery is often the most effective treatment, though some lifestyle adjustments or exercises may help alleviate symptoms. Frequent masturbation does not directly cause varicocele, but can lead to temporary discomfort or pain.
