Question 1

Does anxiety cause erectile dysfunction?

Accepted Answer

Yes, anxiety both directly and indirectly in the form of other health conditions (Heart disease, high blood pressure/cholesterol, obesity) can cause erectile dysfunction.

Question 2

I'm feeling some discomfort in the area around my left testicle, but not directly in the testicle itself. It's not exactly painful, more like an uneasy feeling. Should I be concerned or get it checked out?

Accepted Answer

The uneasy feeling in the left testicle area, but not directly in the testicles, could be related to epididymitis, a groin strain, or a hernia; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional, such as a primary care physician or a urologist, for a proper evaluation, as they can perform a physical examination and potentially order imaging tests to determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

Question 3

I've been dealing with a scrotum infection for the past two years. The veins there have swollen and become painful, especially during intimate moments or activities. I've visited numerous doctors, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this, and what should I try next?

Accepted Answer

According to symptoms this is a case of varicocele.There are no drugs to treat or prevent varicoceles. But pain killers (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen) may help with pain. When needed, surgery is the main form of treatment. Embolization (briefly blocking the veins) is a non-surgical treatment option

I'm really concerned about experiencing erectile dysfunction for the past couple of years. Can you help me understand what's going on and suggest possible solutions to overcome this problem?
