I'm having some problems that are really concerning me. Firstly, during sex, I notice that my penis seems to lose its hardness and takes quite some time to get firm again. Secondly, I'm worried about the size of my penis because the circumference seems small to me. Also, I'm not sure if it's normal that it bends downward instead of being straight. Could you let me know what might be causing these issues or what I might be able to do?

I have grade 1 varicocele in my left testicle, and some doctors say surgery isn't needed, but I'm noticing shrinkage in my testicles, reduced penis size, erectile dysfunction, and daily pain below the left testicle. I feel like my testosterone might be dropping, and it's affecting my energy and motivation. Should I consider laparoscopic surgery, microsurgery, or embolization to fix this and get back to my active life? What's the best option for grade 1 varicocele?
Given your Grade 1 varicocele symptoms, which include testicle shrinkage, reduced penis size, erectile dysfunction, pain, and suspected low testosterone, a surgical intervention might be beneficial. While some doctors may initially suggest observation for Grade 1 varicoceles, the progression of your symptoms suggests that surgery could improve your quality of life and address potential long-term fertility issues.

I'm a 27-year-old male dealing with an overactive bladder and urge incontinence. My urologist prescribed meds that helped but caused hard stools and anal fissures. After switching meds, the same issue came back, and I even had to get surgery for the fissure. The doctor says there are only two types of bladder-relaxing meds available, and both cause dry mouth and constipation. I'm really anxious because this feels never-ending are there really no other options that won't give me these side effects? My life has become so difficult because of this.
While the commonly prescribed medications for overactive bladder may cause side effects like constipation and dry mouth, it's not necessarily true that no other options exist. There are several alternative approaches to managing overactive bladder and urge incontinence, including lifestyle modifications, bladder training techniques, and other medical interventions like Botox injections or nerve stimulation, which might be worth exploring with your urologist.
