I'm wondering if guys experience bleeding when they have sex for the first time. And if they do, how long does it usually take to heal? Id appreciate your insight on this.

It is possible for some boys to experience minor bleeding during their first sexual intercourse, especially if there is not enough lubrication or if there is some tearing of the skin. This usually heals on its own within a few days to a week. To help with the healing process and reduce discomfort, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and keep the area clean. If the bleeding persists or if there is excessive pain, it is important to seek medical advice

my foreskin is really tight at the tip and it's causing discomfort is there any treatment for phimosis other than surgery what options do i have

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin can't be pulled back from the head of the penis. It's normal in babies and small children, and they usually grow out of it. It can also be caused by infections, scar tissue, and skin diseases, and may need to be treated with steroid cream or surgery

I've noticed that my foreskin naturally pulls back and stays behind the head of my penis all the time. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it cause any problems if it stays like this?

no problem until there is no pain

I have a grade 3 varicocele but was told surgery isn't needed since my semen is fine. My testosterone is low though, and I've noticed swelling in my chest plus something hard in my left testicle. Getting married soon am I physically fit for married life? How's my erection and libido for sex? Could there be any issues like cancer in my testicles? I'm in Bengaluru and would like to consult one doctor for all these concerns.

Grade 3 varicocele requires surgery ,they include laparoscopic varicocelectomy,open surgical intervention by making a minor incision and ligating the effected veins and lastly percutaneous embolisation procedure.The gold standard treatment is called varicocelectomy procedure is advised to the patient.
