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 24-year-old and I've been using Viagra to have better sex. I'm worried because it's become a habit, and over the past year, my penis isn't getting as erect as it used to. It would get hard about 2 to 3 times a day before, but now it doesn't. Even during sex, it gets hard but goes soft really quickly. I'm wondering if this is happening because of the Viagra, and Id really like some advice on what I should do.
Taking Viagra regularly without medical advice can sometimes lead to psychological dependence, where natural erections feel less strong or consistent. Stress, anxiety, or underlying health issues can also contribute. To address this, avoid further use of Viagra for now, focus on a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep), and consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment options, such as managing psychological or hormonal factors.

I'm really confused about whether Kegels or reverse Kegels would help with premature ejaculation. I've heard that Kegels strengthen the PC muscles and might actually make premature ejaculation worse, but reverse Kegels relax the BC muscles and can be beneficial. Which one of these is accurate?
