I would definately check with your doctor. Testicular cancer is common among men ages 17-35. Better safe than sorry. Treatment is usually very succesful (85-90%) if it is cancer and caught early.

You are not too old to have a circumcision, but you really should, if you haven't already, talk with a parent and go see a Urologist to discuss the procedure.  Reasons to absolutely get one would be if you cannot pull back the foreskin to clean properly - daily, or if you have pain or problems associated with the foreskin - irritation, redness, cracking of the skin.  Again - all things to talk over with a Urologist and Mom or Dad.  \n\nIf you have no problems with the foreskin you don't have to have a circumcision.  Lots of men are cuncircumcised.  No worries there.  Best wishes.

You really need to see someone..Try a free clinic or a county hospital..It could be nothing or it could be twenty other things.. One possibility is a torsion..Which could cause sterilization in some young men and boys..Don't wait get in to see someone..

Here is the bottom line with any surgery at any age - weigh the risk vs the benefit.  If not having the surgery is more risky than having it - the surgery can be considered "safe".  \n\nThis is the type of discussion to bring back to your doctor when deciding if surgery is the right answer.\n\nLots of people over the age of 70 have surgery every day.  Many have visits with their primary doctor/cardiologist/pulmonologist/ preoperatively to get tuned up for a needed procedure and minimize risk from other diseases they may have.\n\nBest Wishes -

A properly done vasectomy can usually be reversed shoudl the man decide later on he wants to produce offspring the natural way. It is wise when considering a vasectomy to always inform the doctor that this possibility exists so he takes care nto to do anythign that cannot be reversed.\n\nAs for needle extraction of Sperm from a testicle, the method is being practiced along with a few others that mean reversal of a vasectomy woudl not be necessary. A bit of info in the sites referenced below.

You have to be older than a certain age. 16 or 18 I think.

The only time age makes a difference is in the newborn perod and at any time where one cannot safely undergo aneshtesia .  After the newborn period, it is recommended that circumcison be postponed until just after age one.  Form then on, there really is not an age limit.  \n\nAs for cost, it is covered by insurance if there is recurrent infection, difficulty with retraction, or pain with retraction or intercourse.  The procedure is outpatient, done under light sedaton plus local, or general(fully asleep) , and is generaly well tolerated.  Best bet is to talk to a Urologist and get the scoop as it pertains to you.  \n\nMost report increased sensitivity initially - but they all get used to it eventually.  It does not affect growth in any way.  Best wishes

yes, definitely. I wish I had the choice at 16 to get one, but when I was your age it was unheard of. I'm 58 now, and I thought about it for about five years but just couldn't get up enough nerve to go see a doctor, it wasn't that I was scared of doctors but something just held me back.  I finally got it together and went, I had my surgery about 3 years ago and it was the best thing I had ever done, of course there's pain afterwards for a few days, I went back to work after 5 days. Believe me the results outweigh the pain. SO GO AHEAD AND DO IT, DON'T BE LIKE ME AND WAIT, YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT, I PROMISE!!!!

If you're old enough to go to the gynecologist, you're old enough to say "Mom, I love you, but I really don't want to lay on a table naked with my feet up in stirrups and my legs apart with you in the room.  I'll be right back."\n\nP.S.  If you're not old enough to drive yourself to the gynecologist, you're probably not old enough to have sex.

I had a vasectomy 20 years ago. The anaesthetic ensures that it does not hurt while the procedure is being performed, but it does ache afterwards. Nothing too bad, but you'll know that you've had a vasectomyfor a few days, after which it will be fine and you and your partner will have no more worries about unwanted pregnancies. Do remember that vasectomy is a procedure which will almost certainly render you infertile for good, so consider whether you are likely to want any more children before having it done!

Absolutely they will.  If they give you any flack about it you need to find a new doctor.  I had mine tied at age 24 having no kids and had to try five different docs before finding one who would do it but they did it.  You should have an easier time, being older than I was.
