I've noticed that one of my testicles, the right one specifically, seems to hang lower than it used to. I'm 21 and just had a full body check where everything seemed fine, and the doctor checked my testicles but didn't touch them, just took a good look. I hit the gym pretty regularly and wear tight shortsI'm wondering if that or the lifting might be affecting this. I also have another medical exam soon before I start work on a ship. Could this lower-hanging testicle be something I should worry about?

It's possible that lifting heavy weights or wearing tight shorts could cause some temporary changes in the position of your testicle, but if your doctor didn't find any issues during your last checkup, it likely isn't a cause for concern. However, if you notice persistent discomfort or other symptoms, it's a good idea to mention it during your next medical checkup before heading to the ship.

My foreskin doesn't retract properly do I need to get circumcised before getting married? What are my options?

No, you don't need to get circumcised before marriage just because your foreskin doesn't retract properly. This condition, called phimosis, is not a medical emergency or a requirement for marriage. However, if phimosis causes pain, discomfort, or other issues, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor about treatment options. These options can include steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, or, in some cases, circumcision.

I'm only able to have sex for about 2 minutes and I'm looking for advice on how to last longer. Is there something, like a capsule or treatment, that can help me extend the duration?

It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.
