Question

I'm really concerned about my son he's having some trouble when he urinates. His penis kind of balloons up while he's peeing, but it goes back to normal afterward. He doesn't complain about any pain. He's uncircumcised, and we're not thinking about doing any surgery. I just want to know if this is something normal or if it'll go away on its own. Is there anything else we can do to help reduce this ballooning? Also, could this issue be affecting his kidneys?

Question

I'm really worried about my 3.5-year-old son. He's got some swelling down there, and after getting it checked out, they said it's hydrocele. The doctor mentioned surgery, but I'm unsure if that's the right move. I came across information online that says this kind of hydrocele might go away on its own in kids. Should we wait a bit more, or is surgery the best option here? What do you think?
