Found a cyst on my scrotum yesterday and I'm a bit worried. Is there any way to treat it without surgery? I've attached some pics for reference. What could be causing this and how serious is it?

My 4-year-old son has had an enlarged and hard right testicle for a week but no pain or irritation. The doctor suggested a scrotum ultrasound which showed hydrocele. Can it be treated without surgery? We're really worried about him going through surgery at this age. (Note: Kept the tone natural, removed excessive punctuation, avoided formal openings, and maintained the medical terms like hydrocele and scrotum ultrasound while expressing parental concern.)

surgery is the procedure recommended.Hydrocelectomy is advised.

I have a small egg-like lump near my right testicle inside the scrotum that feels slippery and moves around. It gives me a slight electric shock-like pain that's really bothering me. An ultrasound showed it's a small epididymal cyst. What can be done to drain it or ease the pain? Can meds help or is surgery the only option?

Usually epididymal cysts will not cause any problem and treating them might cause problem including surgery. If there is infection you need to be treated. These cysts will not harm you unless increase in size. Get a check up with urologist.

I'm dealing with a bad smell coming from under my foreskin, and it's making me a bit worried. There's also some mild itching going on. I've tried washing it, but the smell just keeps coming back the next day. Could you please give me some advice on what might be happening and how to fix it?

It sounds like you may have a yeast infection or balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist, consult a doctor for further evaluation.
