I'm a 32-year-old male dealing with hydrocele and looking for a doctor near Thane. Can you tell me how long the surgery takes, what the cost might be, and if there are any other treatment options besides surgery?

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...

View allI've been struggling with premature ejaculation for the last 2 years and it's really affecting my life. I tend to discharge early and it's becoming quite frustrating. Could you help me understand what's going on and maybe suggest some medication or treatments that could help with this issue?
Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common condition, and it's important to address both physical and psychological factors. I recommend speaking with a healthcare provider to rule out underlying causes, as treatments may include behavioral therapy, lifestyle changes, or medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or topical anesthetics to help delay ejaculation. Open communication with your partner can also be beneficial in managing this issue.

I have an 11mm kidney stone but no pain right now. Can it be removed with medicine or will I need surgery? What are my options?
An 11mm kidney stone may not pass naturally and might require treatment, potentially including medical procedures or surgery. While some smaller stones may pass with increased water intake and medication, an 11mm stone has a lower chance of passing on its own. Treatment options include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to break up the stone, ureteroscopy to remove or break up the stone with laser or other tools, and in some cases, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for larger stones.
