I'm a bit concerned because a few days ago, I noticed some mild pain in my right testicle and now it's swollen. I've been taking painkillers, which helped a bit, but I've found a lump in my spermatic cord. Is this something I should be worried about? Should I see a urologist for this, or would a general surgeon be better?

I'm trying to understand the effects of using coconut oil for massages on my penis. Will it help with increasing the size, or am I mistaken? Would love some clarity on this!

My left testis has gotten bigger but there's no pain. Allopathic doctors say surgery is needed to remove the fluid. Is there any way homeopathy can fix this without going under the knife?

No,diagnosis is hernia.Surgery advised is hydrocelectomy ,it could be either laparocopic or open hydrocelectomy procedure.OPD basis procedure,patients can go home on the same day.Homeopathy treatment is upto you.Bed rest is advised for about 2-3 weeks post surgery.

I'm really into fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular gym workouts and a balanced diet. But I'm kind of worried about something that I haven't found a clear answer for. Does masturbation more than twice a week have any negative effects on my health? And if I do it on consecutive days, is that harmful in any way? Just trying to understand if it's affecting my fitness journey or overall health in any way.

Yes you can take no problem.
