View allMy foreskin won't pull back all the way it only goes down a little before it starts hurting. I really don't want surgery, so what else can I do to fix this? It's really bothering me and affecting my daily life.
Paraphimosis is a medical emergency in which you can't draw your foreskin back down over the head of your penis. It can happen if you have a partially circumcised or uncircumcised penis. You must get treatment as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage to your penis.

I've had a hydrocele on my left side for about 5 years now, and initially, doctors said it was normal and didn't need treatment. But last month, my doctor recommended surgery. I'm really trying to avoid surgery are there any other options? I've been doing a fruit diet and cold hip baths, but I'm not sure if that's enough. What else can I try?
While a fruit diet and cold hip baths might offer some temporary relief, they won't resolve a hydrocele. Once a hydrocele persists or becomes large enough to cause discomfort or becomes unsightly, surgery (hydrocelectomy) is generally the recommended treatment, according to multiple sources. Other options like aspiration and sclerotherapy may be considered, but they often come with a higher risk of recurrence than surgery.

my 2 year old son has a tight foreskin that balloons when he pees and the doctor recommended circumcision but I'm really hoping there's another option besides surgery is there any alternative treatment we can try first
For your 2-year-old’s tight foreskin, many cases improve with gentle stretching exercises. If the doctor recommends circumcision, consider getting a second opinion or exploring non-surgical alternatives first.
