A 3mm calculus might not require surgery unless it causes significant pain, blockage, or infection. Medications like alpha blockers and drinking plenty of fluids can help in passing the stone.

Why is the head of my penis so dry? I'm having trouble pulling the back skin upwards after rolling it down, though that part is easy. Plus, the ring of my penis is turning more red and patchy. What's going on with that?

Use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected area for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps or perfumed products, can help with healing. If symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I have a 7.1x6.9mm epididymal cyst and noticed pus in my semen. I did a semen culture test and took meds but nothing changed. Are there other treatment options or would surgery be needed?

Given your persistent pus in semen despite antibiotic treatment for a suspected infection, and the presence of a 7.1x6.9mm epididymal cyst, further evaluation and potential surgical intervention should be considered. While antibiotics are the first line of defense against infection, if the pus persists, it could indicate a blockage or structural issue, potentially related to the cyst, that requires surgical removal (spermatocelectomy).
