I have a small egg-like lump near my right testicle inside the scrotum that feels slippery and moves around. It gives me a slight electric shock-like pain that's really bothering me. An ultrasound showed it's a small epididymal cyst. What can be done to drain it or ease the pain? Can meds help or is surgery the only option?

Usually epididymal cysts will not cause any problem and treating them might cause problem including surgery. If there is infection you need to be treated. These cysts will not harm you unless increase in size. Get a check up with urologist.

I'm a 21-year-old guy with a tight foreskin, and it's making me nervous about sex because I'm worried it'll hurt. I've been thinking about circumcision but don't know much about the procedure or what to expect after. Should I bring someone with me when I get it done, and roughly how much does it cost in Bangalore? Also, how long does recovery usually take? I really want to get this sorted soon since it's been bothering me a lot.

Consult a local surgeon. It's a minor surgery.
