I'm having trouble pulling back the foreskin on my penis, and it's causing a really uncomfortable tightness at the tip during full erections and when trying to insert. On top of that, I'm dealing with premature ejaculation. Should I be seeing a urologist for this, or is a general surgeon the better option? Also, is there a connection between this issue with my foreskin, phimosis I think it's called, and premature ejaculation?

You should consult a urologist, as they specialize in genital and urinary tract issues, including phimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin) and premature ejaculation (PE); while phimosis and PE can coexist, they are not directly related, but treating phimosis through circumcision, preputioplasty, or frenuloplasty may help alleviate discomfort and tightness, which could indirectly improve PE symptoms, and a urologist can assess and address both concerns.

View allI'm single and not in any relationships, but I have this overwhelming sex drive that's starting to mess with my daily life. Sometimes it even wakes me up at night, leaving me feeling anxious and nervous with sexual thoughts. I end up masturbating almost every day, and some days it's up to three times! I've noticed that doing it so often is giving me some lower back pain and making me feel really tired. Is this kind of desire normal? I read online that it might be due to high testosterone levels, and there's a test for that. But I'm curious, could there be other reasons for this? And what should I do about it? Can it lead to issues in the future?
Excessive sex desire, frequent masturbation, and associated symptoms like lower back pain and tiredness may be related to various factors, including high testosterone levels, hormonal imbalances, stress, anxiety, or underlying psychological conditions; other possible causes include sleep deprivation, certain medications, or nutritional deficiencies; consult a healthcare professional, such as an endocrinologist or a sexologist, for personalized guidance, and consider discussing the following: hormonal testing (e.g., testosterone, prolactin), stress management techniques, sleep hygiene, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address underlying psychological factors.

I'm 19 and have bilateral varicocele measuring 2.2 mm and 2.6 mm but I think it's getting bigger. I get occasional scrotal pain, no erections, and see a bunch of veins there. I don't want surgery because it might come back. Can homeopathy really help cure varicocele? What other options do I have?
surgery opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm wondering about how often it's okay to masturbate. I've been doing it three times a day and I'm not sure if that's too much or if it's alright. Is it healthy to keep up this frequency?
