I'm really worried because I'm experiencing a lack of erection in my penis. There's no more firmness or even the ability to get an erection at all. Could you please provide some guidance on what's happening to me? What could be causing this, and are there any solutions or treatments I should consider?

I noticed a lump in my left testicle and after looking it up online I think it might be varicocele It doesn't hurt but feels uncomfortable Do I really need surgery for this and if so how long can I wait before getting it treated Im 22 and a bit worried about what to do next

Any time you find a lump in your testicle or scrotum, you should have it checked by your doctor as soon as possible. However, if the lump you're feeling is in fact a varicocele, it likely won't cause pain. While varicocele pain is not common, it can occur, especially as the varicocele becomes larger.
