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.

I have grade 3 varicocele and my left testicle looks much bigger with a dull ache if I get surgery, will it go back to its normal shape? I really want it to look normal again

Yes, in many cases, surgery (varicocelectomy) can help reduce the swelling and size of the affected testicle and alleviate the dull ache associated with a grade 3 varicocele. While some slight changes in appearance may persist, surgery often leads to a significant improvement in testicular size and reduction of pain

I've been having to urinate really frequently, and it's getting frustrating. I did a KUB ultrasound, and it showed that my prostate isn't enlarged, but my urine flow is still really poor. I'm currently taking velfu and macpee, but they don't seem to be helping with the flow. What kind of treatment would you suggest for this? I'm only 32, so I'm a bit worried about what's going on.

After my circumcision, I've noticed swelling around the surgery area is this normal? I had the procedure done because of swelling on my penis after sex, and now I'm a bit worried about the recovery. How long should this last?
