I'm really worried because I've noticed the hole in my penis seems to be getting larger, and I think it might be because Ive been masturbating a lot. Is there anything I can do to get it back to its original size?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as urethral meatal stenosis, where the opening of the urethra becomes enlarged. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In some cases, a topical steroid cream may be prescribed to help reduce the size of the opening. Additionally, if the enlargement is causing any discomfort or issues with urination, a surgical procedure called meatoplasty may be recommended to repair the opening of the urethra.

I have a cyst in my scrotum and I'm really worried about it. Are there any other treatment options besides surgery that might help? I'd prefer to avoid an operation if possible. What can I do to manage it or make it go away?

Generally, these cysts don't cause any symptoms. However, they may cause feelings of heaviness or a dull ache in the scrotum. There are no known risk factors for cysts, and they rarely require treatment. In cases where cysts cause symptoms, such as pain, surgery may be recommended.
