To help alleviate a tight frenulum at home, try gentle stretching exercises: 1) massage the frenulum with gentle circular motions, 2) use a lubricant and slowly stretch the frenulum while pulling the foreskin down, and 3) repeat exercises 2-3 times a day; however, if the frenulum is severely tight or causing discomfort, consult a urologist

I've noticed some small, painless bumps on the foreskin of my penis. They've been there for over two months. I don't feel any itching, and they showed up around the time I last had sex. I was already tested, and the V.D.R.L. test came back negative. Should I be doing another test, or is there something else I can do? I'm really concerned about whether I might have an STD. I'm also considering sharing some pictures for reference. What do you think?

That could be STD visit nearest STD clinic or consult Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I've noticed this strange discomfort and occasional pain in my right testicle after I masturbate. It's become a bit of a concern because I usually do it once a day, sometimes twice. Could this be from doing it too much, and should I be worried about this? Is there anything I can do to stop it from happening?

Experiencing vague pain or discomfort in the right testicle can be a concerning symptom. It is possible that excessive masturbation may be contributing to this issue. To prevent further discomfort, you can try reducing the frequency of masturbation and ensuring proper lubrication during the act. Additionally, wearing supportive underwear and avoiding activities that put pressure on the testicles may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I found out I have a grade III varicocele in my right testicle after a Doppler scan was done because I had some pain there a few months back. The doctor mentioned I might need surgery. I'm feeling a bit worried about not treating it. Can there be any side effects if I leave it as is? Would not having the surgery impact anything long-term?

surgical management is best
