I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed that the skin on the downside of my penis has cracked after having sex with my wife. Can you suggest what might be going on and what I can do to help it heal?

I've noticed that a year ago, my right kidney was measured at 10cm during an abdominal ultrasound. I recently had another scan done at a different diagnostic center, and they measured my right kidney at 9.1cm. Should I be worried about this change in size, even though everything else seems normal with no issues reported? What do you think?

Question

I'm dealing with epididymitis that I found out about a month ago. I started antibiotics back then and the swelling went down a bit. Then my doctor switched me to a milder antibiotic, but after a week, the swelling didn't go away and actually got worse, turning into a hydrocele. So my doctor put me back on the old antibiotics. I've got a bunch of questions on my mind. Is epididymitis something that can actually be cured? And if so, how long should I expect it to take? What kind of care should I be taking, like should I change my diet or exercise routine? Is jogging, running, or hitting the gym something I can do? Are there specific foods or activities I need to steer clear of? Could this condition affect my sexual or married life? What precautions should I be taking? How about personal care, any specific things I need to focus on? Also, my doctor prescribed tablets that cost 100 Rs each; do antibiotics really cost that much?
