I'm 21 and have been diagnosed with hydrocele. Is there any chance it can go away on its own or would I need surgery? Also, how much does the surgery usually cost?

Hydroceles in adults rarely resolve on their own; surgery is the definitive treatment and costs vary depending on hospital type and location.

I'm a bit worried because when I peed, it really hurt, and then when I wiped, it burned even more. Should I be concerned about this, or is there something I can do to help relieve the pain right now?

That could be UTI, get a complete Urine Examination and Urine culture sensitivity done and visit Physician for appropriate management and also consume plenty of fluids.

What's the best way to treat balanitis? I've been dealing with these scars on my foreskin that keep coming back every few days. I started using a fungal cream that my doctor recommended, but it's been about 15 days and I'm not seeing an improvement. What should I do?

Varicocele can be uncomfortable. _Masturbation and varicocele:_ Masturbation is unlikely to worsen varicocele directly. However, frequent or vigorous masturbation can increase blood flow to the genital area, potentially exacerbating varicocele discomfort. _Safe interval for masturbation:_ There's no specific recommended interval for masturbation in relation to varicocele. However, consider the following: 1. _Listen to your body_: If you experience increased discomfort or pain after masturbation, consider reducing the frequency or intensity. 2. _Moderation is key_: Masturbating 1-2 times a week is unlikely to have a significant impact on varicocele. 3. _Focus on overall health_: Prioritize a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management, to help alleviate varicocele symptoms. _Varicocele management:_ 1. _Consult a urologist_: Get a proper diagnosis and discuss treatment options with a urologist. 2. _Lifestyle modifications_: Make changes to your daily routine, such as wearing supportive underwear, avoiding heavy lifting, and managing stress. 3. _Surgery or embolization_: In some cases, surgery or embolization may be necessary to treat varicocele. Remember to consult a urologist for personalized advice on managing your varicocele.

I'm really concerned about my penis size. It's quite small, and I'm looking for ways to increase both its size and breadth naturally. I want to do this without surgery but also stay healthy. Can you guide me on how I can achieve this?

It's important to note that most methods claiming to increase penis size are not proven to be effective. Focus on maintaining overall health through regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing stress, as these can improve blood circulation and sexual health. If you're concerned, consider consulting a healthcare provider to discuss any safe options.
