Question 1

I've been dealing with a hydrocele for six years. It doesn't hurt anymore, but its size is a real issue, especially when I try to wear tighter pants. It's really uncomfortable. Could you give me some advice on how to reduce its size or manage it better?

Accepted Answer

Alerid syrup is an antihistamine, which may not be effective for a cold. Hicet syrup, containing cetirizine and paracetamol, might provide relief from cold symptoms.

Consider adding:

1. Steam inhalation
2. Saline nasal drops
3. Warm liquids (tea, soup)
4. Rest

Question 2

my frenulum feels tight when erect and my penis bends a bit when relaxed but the foreskin moves down fully a surgeon recommended frenuloplasty but I'm not sure whether to go for the stitched or stitchless option how painful is the surgery and how long does it take to recover

Accepted Answer

Frenuloplasty, a surgery to address a tight frenulum, can be performed with or without stitches, and the choice between stitched and stitchless options depends on individual factors and surgeon preference. The procedure itself is generally minor, with recovery times varying but typically taking a few weeks. While some pain and discomfort are possible after the procedure, it's not typically a painful surgery.

Question 3

My right kidney is swollen with hydroureteronephrosis because the ureter has a retrocaval course. The doctor suggested laparoscopic ureterolithotomy will I need any medication along with the surgery? Will this procedure fix the issue completely?

Accepted Answer

neurologist opinion.

I have type 2 partial retraction where I can pull the foreskin back a bit but it won't go past the head of my penis and I also have a tight frenulum is there any way to fix this without getting circumcision

Topical steroid creams and frenulum-stretching techniques may help. Circumcision is only needed if it interferes with function or causes tears.
