Men's sexual problems

People with male sex organs can have many sexual health problems throughout their lives. These include erectile dysfunction and loss of sex drive. Many of these problems can be worrying, but they're common and treatable.

Your testicles (balls) should feel smooth and firm (not hard), with no bumps or lumps.
