I have a hydrocele in my left testicle can it be treated without surgery? If yes, where should I go for help?

Can Hydrocele be Medically Treated? The short answer is, NO.. If the hydrocele is relatively small and does not cause discomfort, it might not require any treatment. There isn't a medication currently available that can treat hydrocele effectively

My frenulum got cut during sex with my girlfriend and now there's just a little pain left. Is this normal, or should I see a doctor?

Give it a rest for a week, that is no sex or masturbation, it should heal just fine as it doesn't sound deep. Avoid putting any type of cream on it just keep it clean and dry as possible and you will be fine... Don't apply cream as it keeps the wound moist and it will not heal for ages. Stop sex etc and if you see no improvement then as bad as it seems, you need to seek medical advice. .

I've had kidney stones for years and now have a large 29 mm stone stuck in my left ureter near the bladder plus two smaller ones in my left kidney. My ultrasound shows mild hydronephrosis too. I've been using homeopathic meds like Berberis and Cantharis but not sure if they're helping. Can alcohol or beer actually help pass these stones or should I consider surgery given the size of the big one? Is medicine alone enough or do I need other treatment options?

Given the size of the kidney stone (29mm) and the presence of hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the best treatment option. While some homeopathic remedies like Berberis and Cantharis might provide some relief, they are unlikely to be sufficient to remove the stone or address the hydronephrosis. Alcohol or beer may not significantly aid stone passage, and could even worsen the pain and discomfort
