I'm experiencing some itching in the inner tip area of my penis, and it's been going on for a couple of weeks now. I've also noticed some redness on the skin at the back. What could this be, and should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

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 noticing some white particles in my urine lately, and I'm a bit concerned. I also have a PCOD problem and there's swelling on the right side of my body, from my upper back down to my toe, even affecting my right hand. I consulted a homeopathy doctor and they mentioned swelling in my right ovary. I completed a 7-month course of medication for PCOD last year, lost 8kgs with a proper diet, and I'm not currently on any medication for it. I'm married, and I'm trying to understand what's going on. Can you help me figure this out?
