I've been wondering about a few things and wanted to get your advice. I'm curious if a penis size of 12-13 cm is considered good for sex, and are there any natural ways to increase size? Also, I tend to release sperm quite quickly, often within a minute, and I wonder how I might control that better. Does masturbation actually make your penis size smaller? I'd love some recommendations on foods that could help with penis enlargement and improving sperm health. Is it okay to shave regularly down there, and I also spend a lot of time nude at home; could that be harmful in any way?

I've had a downward bend at the tip of my penis for as long as I can remember, probably because my foreskin is attached to the glans. I tried cutting it myself a few years ago and it helped a bit, but the bend still happens when I'm erect. I attached a picture so you can see. Is surgery the only fix for this or could daily stretching work? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible

What's the best surgery option for a grade 3 varicocele and how is open surgery done do they use any magnification during the procedure

For grade 3 varicocele, microsurgical varicocelectomy is generally considered the best surgical option, offering the highest success rate and lowest risk of complications. Open surgery, specifically microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy, involves making a small incision in the groin area, and the surgeon uses a microscope or loupes (magnifying glasses) to identify and ligate (tie off) the enlarged veins, preserving the testicular artery and lymphatic vessels.
