Question 1

I've been having some concerns about my testicles being really loose, both generally and during sex. Is this something I should be worried about? I mean, is it considered a disease, or is this normal for guys? I'd really like to know if there's a way to make my testicle sack tighter. Also, which kind of doctor should I see about this? Would it be a urologist or someone else?

Tongue Ulcer and Concerns about Oral Cancer

_Symptoms:_

1. Ulcer on the right side of the lower tongue
2. Minimal pain, unless touched
3. No improvement with Zytee gel application for 3 days

_Concerns about oral cancer:_

1. _Unlikely to be oral cancer_: Most oral cancers are painful, grow rapidly, and are associated with other symptoms like difficulty swallowing, numbness, or bleeding.
2. _More likely a traumatic or infectious ulcer_: Given the location and your history of broken teeth and dental issues, the ulcer might be caused by trauma (e.g., biting your tongue) or infection.

_Recommended steps:_

1. _Consult a dentist or oral surgeon_: Schedule an appointment to evaluate the ulcer and your dental issues.
2. _Biopsy (if necessary)_: If the dentist suspects something unusual, they might recommend a biopsy to rule out oral cancer.
3. _Treatment for the ulcer_: Your dentist might prescribe antibiotics or antifungal medications, depending on the cause of the ulcer.
4. _Address dental issues_: Get your broken teeth and dental issues treated to prevent further complications.

_Oral cancer screening:_

1. _Regular dental check-ups_: Visit your dentist regularly for oral cancer screenings, especially if you have a history of tobacco use, heavy drinking, or a family history of oral cancer.

Question 5

I've been masturbating since I was 15 and I'm 17 now. I've heard that it might lower zinc and testosterone levels, and it's really got me anxious. Could you please tell me if that's actually true?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation does not decrease zinc or testosterone levels significantly. It is a normal and healthy activity. To maintain healthy levels of zinc and testosterone, you can include zinc-rich foods in your diet such as oysters, beef, and nuts. If you have concerns about your testosterone levels, you can consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

I'm dealing with a bilateral grade 1 varicocele, and I'm really worried because my left testicle is sagging a lot lower than my right one. It's causing a lot of pain and discomfort. I've seen a urologist who suggested I take Hetrazan and Health OK ta...

Accepted Answer

Bilateral varicocele with discomfort, especially in the left testicle, may sometimes require surgery if symptoms persist. The most common option is laparoscopic varicocelectomy, which has fewer complications and a quicker recovery time compared to open surgery. It's best to discuss your symptoms and treatment options with your urologist to see if surgery is necessary in your case.
