I'm a bit worried about my left testicle because it hangs much lower than the right one and there's a burning sensation. I've read about bell clapper deformity and how it might lead to testicular torsion. Also, I've been diagnosed with bilateral grade 1 varicocele. I'm wondering if I might need surgery for this or if it can be managed with medicine. Could you help clarify this for me?

What's the better option for frenuloplasty stitchless or with stitches? Are there any side effects I should know about and how much does the surgery usually cost?

For frenuloplasty, a stitchless procedure using a laser or other advanced techniques is generally considered a better option due to quicker recovery, less pain, and reduced risk of infection compared to traditional methods using stitches. Side effects can include mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which usually subside within a few days. The cost of frenuloplasty in India typically ranges from INR 30,000 to INR 35,000, but can vary depending on the clinic and specific procedure.

I've noticed some white skin on the tip of my penis, and it's really sensitive to touch. The rest of the skin feels normal, almost like there's a difference I can't explain. What could this be, and should I be worried about it?

I'm currently weighing 67 kg and have been on the AKT4 kit for about a month now, taking it every day. I recently went through the guidelines and noticed that the amounts of ethambutol and isoniazid I'm getting are lower than what's recommended for my weight. Specifically, it seems like my dose of ethambutol is 400 mg less and isoniazid is 300 mg less than what's suggested. Should I be worried about this affecting my treatment for extrapulmonary tuberculosis in epididymitis?

It's important to follow the prescribed dosage for your condition, as the dosages in the AKT4 kit are typically based on standard treatment guidelines. Since your weight requires slightly higher doses of Ethambutol and Isoniazid, discuss this with your doctor to ensure the treatment is effective and adjusted for your needs.
