I noticed that the back side of the top of my penis got swollen after I masturbated last night. It's kind of worrying me. What could be going on, and what should I do about this?

Could be due to irritation or inflammation. I recommend using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the swelling and discomfort. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to the affected area twice a day for about a week. If the swelling does not improve or if you experience any pain, fever, or discharge, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

For a Grade 2 or 3 varicocele, non-surgical options like embolization (blocking the affected veins) and lifestyle changes are available, but no medications can cure it. Embolization is often preferred for its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery. Lifestyle changes, such as wearing supportive underwear, can help manage symptoms

I was diagnosed with a 5 mm stone in my urinary bladder about a week ago, and my doctor told me to take veltam 0.4. The stone passed the very next day, and now, five days later, the ultrasound showed no signs of any abnormality or stone. I can't seem to reach my doctor at the moment, so I'm wondering if it's okay for me to stop taking the medicine now. What do you think?

As the size of the stone is large thats the appropriate procedure,follow your doctors advice
