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.

I'm from Dibrugarh and think I might have a short frenulum. I can retract my foreskin but it doesn't feel quite normal. Sex isn't painful or anything, but after reading up online, I'm wondering if frenuloplasty could make things more comfortable. Should I consider surgery or is it fine as long as it's not causing issues?

I've noticed that after ejaculation, I often feel the urge to urinate, but it's hard to get started. Once I do, the urine stream seems pretty narrow. When I'm not dealing with this, everything flows normally, though sometimes it's like the stream sprays unexpectedly. What could be causing this?
