I've been masturbating for the past 6 years without actually removing my clothes, like on my underwear. Is there any chance this could lead to an infection?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Masturbating in this manner may increase the risk of developing a genital infection due to the warm and moist environment created by the underwear. It is important to maintain good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection. You can use antifungal creams like Clotrimazole 1% cream to prevent or treat any potential fungal infections.

View allMy friend is 31 and has been trying to have kids for the last 6 years. He just got an ultrasound scan that showed left varicocele. Is this likely causing fertility issues and can it be treated with medication or does he need surgery
A left varicocele, especially in someone actively trying to conceive, could be a contributing factor to infertility. While some varicoceles don't require treatment, if it's significantly affecting sperm quality or production, surgery might be considered. Medications may help manage pain or discomfort, but they won't address the underlying cause of the varicocele

Can plastic surgery help repair damaged nerves in the penis if they haven't healed on their own
Yes, in some cases, plastic surgery, particularly nerve grafting, can help repair damaged nerves in the penis if they haven't healed on their own, and can potentially restore erectile function. However, nerve damage may be irreversible in some instances, and the success of surgical repair depends on the extent and cause of the damage.
