I'm really concerned because about an hour ago, I masturbated in the washroom and afterwards noticed the head of my penis turned a yellowish color. I'm worried about what this color change could mean. Is this something serious? What steps should I take to address this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

A temporary yellowish discoloration of the penis head after masturbation is likely due to irritation, friction, or minor trauma, and may be accompanied by swelling or redness; apply a cold compress, maintain good hygiene, and avoid further irritation; if the discoloration persists, is severe, or accompanied by discharge, pain, or difficulty urinating, consult a urologist

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?
refer to general surgeon

I've been dealing with phimosis and heard steroid creams might help which ones actually work and how do you use them properly? Is surgery the only option if the creams don't help, or are there other treatments? How long does it usually take to see improvement with the creams?
Steroid creams can be an effective conservative treatment for phimosis, reducing inflammation and loosening the foreskin to facilitate retraction. Betamethasone, hydrocortisone, and triamcinolone are commonly used according to Medscape. Surgery is generally considered the gold standard for adults, while creams and stretching exercises are often tried first. Improvement with steroid creams can be seen within 4-8 weeks, with a higher success rate when combined with stretching exercises.
