I have a 5.8 x 3.5 cm renal cyst in my right kidney and I'm looking for treatment options other than sclerotherapy or surgery.

I've been dealing with this tingling sensation and burning at the tip of my penis when I pee for almost a year now. I saw a doctor before, and they put me on antidepressants, which seemed to help, but whenever I stop taking them, the symptoms come back. I've also noticed some pain at the base of my penis.

Since you have already tried antidepressants without complete relief, I recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation and possible prescription of antibiotics. In the meantime, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen for the pain.
