Is hydrocele surgery the only way to fix it or are there other treatments I can try first
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While surgery (hydrocelectomy) is often the primary treatment for hydrocele, particularly in adults or for persistent hydroceles, it's not always the first step. In some cases, hydroceles may resolve on their own, especially in infants. Non-surgical options like aspiration and sclerotherapy, or simply monitoring the hydrocele, may be considered before surgery.

View allI'm a bit concerned about how often I should be masturbating. Are there any health effects from doing it? Like, is there a recommended number of times a week or month that's considered healthy? I just want to make sure I'm not overdoing it.
Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, with no serious physical or mental health effects when done in moderation; a healthy frequency can vary, but general guidelines suggest 2-3 times a week is normal, while excessive masturbation (more than 1-2 times a day) can lead to issues like fatigue, guilt, or decreased sexual sensitivity.

I'm 29 and can't pull my foreskin back at all, even when soft or hard barely see the tip of my penis. I think it's phimosis and I notice veins around the tip. What's the best circumcision method? I'm really nervous about surgery, which is why I've put it off this long.

I'm feeling some discomfort in the area around my left testicle, but not directly in the testicle itself. It's not exactly painful, more like an uneasy feeling. Should I be concerned or get it checked out?
The uneasy feeling in the left testicle area, but not directly in the testicles, could be related to epididymitis, a groin strain, or a hernia; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional, such as a primary care physician or a urologist, for a proper evaluation, as they can perform a physical examination and potentially order imaging tests to determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
