Im a 25-year-old male, weighing 40 kg, and Ive been dealing with something that's been really bothering me. Every night, I find myself experiencing nightfall, with sperm leakage while I sleep. I also have a problem with urinary incontinence. After I use the bathroom, even when I think I've finished urinating, a few drops just come out without me noticing until it's too late. Im having a hard time controlling myself when I feel the sudden urge to urinate. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

The "tube" you're feeling is likely the carotid artery.

A slightly larger carotid artery on one side is usually normal.

Possible causes of a larger carotid artery include:

Genetic variation Age-related changes Increased blood pressure

Swollen lymph nodes or tumors are less likely without other symptoms.

Consult a doctor for a professional evaluation and peace of mind.

I've noticed these red dots appearing on the head of my penis, and they tend to vanish after a couple of days only to come back again. It's weird because when they show up, I get a mild burning feeling, but there's no itching. Do you have any idea what might be causing this cycle of disappearing and reappearing red dots?

I've had an encysted hydrocele for about 3 years now and I'm based in Chennai. Is surgery the only option for this or are there other treatments I can consider? It's been bothering me for a while and I'm not sure what to do next.

Surgery is typically the most effective way to treat an encysted hydrocele, though there may be non-invasive options like aspiration or drainage. Consult with a specialist in Chennai for the best course of action.
