Pain in the left testicle that comes and goes can be caused by various factors, such as muscle strain, epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis), or even testicular torsion, although the latter is typically more sudden and severe. If the pain persists or is accompanied by swelling or other symptoms, it's important to see a healthcare provider for an evaluation and to rule out any serious conditions.

I'm curious about the recovery process after circumcision surgery. How long should I plan to rest, and when can I start activities like riding a bike or going back to the office?

After circumcision surgery, it is recommended to take at least 1-2 days of rest to allow for initial healing. It is advisable to avoid driving a bike for at least 1-2 weeks to prevent any discomfort or complications. Returning to office work can typically be done after 3-4 days, depending on individual healing and comfort levels. Remember to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider for optimal recovery.
