I noticed a small pea-sized cyst on my scrotum and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I see a urologist or a general surgeon to get it checked out? Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat it?

See a urologist first. If it‚Äôs an epidermoid cyst or sebaceous cyst, surgery is the cure. If inflamed, antibiotics may help first.

I've noticed that my penis bends to the left, and I'm wondering if that's normal. Could this be from masturbating? I'd really like to know if there's a way to straighten it out.

Its normal for the penis to have a slight curve, and a bend to the left isnt usually a problem. Masturbation doesnt cause this, so dont worry. If the bend causes pain, difficulty during sex, or concerns, consult a urologist to rule out conditions like Peyronies disease. Otherwise, no treatment is needed.

I have an 11mm stone in my left kidney and my doctors recommended RIRS laser surgery but I'm wondering if lithotripsy could work instead for my case

Surgery is advised to the patient since the stone size is larger .Since stone size is 11mm if untreated may lead to complications like abdominal pain,backpain and infection etc.
