For adult males, hydroceles often go away on their own within six months. A hydrocele requires treatment only if it gets large enough to cause discomfort or disfigurement. Then it might need to be surgically removed... The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis during general or regional anesthesia..No other treatment are as effective as surgery..Consult Surgeon for further advice...

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 supposed to take finax 1mg tablets for the next three months, but I've read about side effects like loss of libido and erectile dysfunction. I'm really worried because I'm pretty sexually active and dont want it messing with my sex life. Can anyone give me an idea of how serious these side effects are or how much they might impact me?

my dad is 80 but otherwise healthy - is laser surgery a good option for his prostate enlargement or are there risks we should know about at his age

Laser prostatectomy, especially holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) or photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP), can be a viable option for an 80-year-old healthy man with prostate enlargement. While risks exist, the benefits of improved urinary flow and reduced symptoms often outweigh them, especially when performed at a reputable facility according to RG Hospitals. However, it's crucial to have a thorough discussion with a urologist about potential complications, recovery time, and individual health factors.
