I had varicocele surgery about 25 days ago but there's still swelling in my scrotum how long does it usually take for the swelling to go away completely? Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Swelling after varicocele surgery is common and usually subsides within 2-4 weeks. If you're still experiencing swelling at 25 days, it's within the expected timeframe, but it's always best to consult your doctor for reassurance or to address any specific concerns

My penis is about 6 inches when erect, but I can't pull back the skin fully when it's hard because it feels too tight. When it's around 3 inches, I can retract the skin up to the head. Do I need surgery, exercises, or medication for this?

This is known as paraphimosis and it's a medical emergency. Immediate treatment is needed to avoid serious complications like restricted blood flow to the penis. A doctor may be able to return the foreskin to its original position. Sometimes surgery to remove the foreskin (circumcision) may be recommended.
