I've been having this strange ache coming from the inside of my testicle whenever I'm driving or just going about my day. It gets worse when I try to massage it. Could someone give me some advice via email? I'd really feel more comfortable if it was from a female doctor.

It sounds like you may be experiencing testicular discomfort, which could be related to a few different issues, such as muscle strain or an underlying condition like epididymitis or varicocele. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a proper examination and diagnosis. If you prefer a female doctor, I suggest looking for one in your area or through telemedicine platforms.

I'm really curious about how masturbation affects testosterone levels. Like, is there a frequency that's considered okay or safe? I'm just a bit worried because I've read that doing it too much can mess with testosterone, and I want to make sure I'm not unintentionally causing any issues. Can you share any insights on how often it's alright without it impacting testosterone levels?

Masturbation does not significantly affect testosterone levels in the long term. Its generally safe and normal to masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, as long as it doesnt interfere with your daily life, relationships, or responsibilities.
