I'm thinking about trying out this condom brand called Durex Extra Time. It has benzocaine, I think about 5%, and I've never used it before. I heard it might numb the tip of the penis a bit to help delay ejaculation. Are these kinds of condoms safe to use regularly? Could using them often have any negative effects on my penis or overall health?

Durex Extra Time condoms, which contain benzocaine (a mild local anesthetic), are generally considered safe for use. They work by numbing the tip of the penis to help delay ejaculation. However, using them frequently may lead to temporary numbness or irritation for some individuals. If you experience any discomfort or allergic reactions, it's best to discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

I have grade 3 varicocele and my left testicle looks much bigger with a dull ache if I get surgery, will it go back to its normal shape? I really want it to look normal again

Yes, in many cases, surgery (varicocelectomy) can help reduce the swelling and size of the affected testicle and alleviate the dull ache associated with a grade 3 varicocele. While some slight changes in appearance may persist, surgery often leads to a significant improvement in testicular size and reduction of pain

I've been considering taking sildenafil zenegra 100mg every day and I'm wondering if it could change the consistency of my sperm. Will it become more watery instead of its usual creamy and thick texture?

Using sildenafil (Zenegra) daily doesn't directly affect the consistency of sperm, which is typically creamy and thick. However, some men may experience changes in semen volume or appearance as a side effect, but it's not a common or expected outcome. If you're concerned, it's best to discuss this with your doctor for personalized advice.
