I'm having a problem with the skin on my penis not retracting during sex with my partner. It seems like it's not opening properly. I've been using oil whenever we have sex, but I'm not sure if that's okay. Is there something I should be doing differently, or should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing tightness of the foreskin, a condition known as phimosis, which can make it difficult for the skin to retract during sex. Applying a lubricant, such as oil, can help reduce friction, but its important to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and explore treatment options, such as gentle stretching exercises or, in some cases, medical intervention.

I've noticed that I haven't had any wet dreams for about 10 or 11 months, and I haven't masturbated or had any other kind of release for the same amount of time. Is it unhealthy if I don't ejaculate at all for this long?

I've had a hydrocele in my right testicle since 2008 and got surgery in 2015, but the size still isn't normal and it hurts when I touch it. Why hasn't it gone back to normal and what could be causing the pain even after surgery?

It's understandable to be concerned about the persistence of your hydrocele and the pain you're experiencing. While hydrocele surgery, or hydrocelectomy, is usually successful, there are instances where the hydrocele may not completely resolve or cause post-surgical pain

I've had this issue with my left testicle for about 5 months now and I'm really worried. Three doctors gave me different opinions one said I need surgery, another said it's just filled with dirty stuff and gave me pain meds. I work a lot lifting heavy cartons (30-50 kg), go to the gym, run fast for 20 minutes, and cycle 5-10 km weekly. I also have sex once a week, sometimes with condoms, sometimes without, plus hand jobs. I smoke sheesha twice a week. My left ball still hurts should I get surgery or just wait? Looking for a good doctor in Mumbai to fix this. My English isn't great, sorry.

Your left testicle in particular is more vulnerable to a number of conditions, such as varicoceles, caused by vein problems, and testicular torsion, which is a twisting of the testicle inside the scrotum.kindly consult urologist
