I have a hydrocele in my left testis that's about 2.5cm and I'm considering surgery. Can you explain how the procedure works and what the cost might be? I'm a bit worried about the whole process.

I've had this issue with my left testicle for about 5 months now and I'm really worried. Three doctors gave me different opinions one said I need surgery, another said it's just filled with dirty stuff and gave me pain meds. I work a lot lifting heavy cartons (30-50 kg), go to the gym, run fast for 20 minutes, and cycle 5-10 km weekly. I also have sex once a week, sometimes with condoms, sometimes without, plus hand jobs. I smoke sheesha twice a week. My left ball still hurts should I get surgery or just wait? Looking for a good doctor in Mumbai to fix this. My English isn't great, sorry.

Your left testicle in particular is more vulnerable to a number of conditions, such as varicoceles, caused by vein problems, and testicular torsion, which is a twisting of the testicle inside the scrotum.kindly consult urologist

I'm really worried about my brother. He was told he has a positive semen culture for enterococcus faecalis, and now his urologist prescribed two daily injections of mikacin 500 mg for 5 days and a daily tablet of forcan 150. I'm just wondering, is it normal to need so many injections for this type of infection? And is mikacin the right antibiotic for enterococcus faecalis?
