I'm really worried because my doctor told me to take Ivermectol 12 mg every 4 days for my hydrocele, but I haven't seen any results yet. Should I be concerned that it's not working, or might there be something else I should try?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Ivermectol 12mg is typically used to treat parasitic infections, not hydrocele.
Hydrocele Treatment
- Needle aspiration: A procedure where a needle is inserted to drain the fluid.
- Surgery (hydrocelectomy): A surgical procedure to remove the hydrocele sac.
Ivermectol for Hydrocele
Using Ivermectol for hydrocele treatment is unconventional and may not be effective. Ivermectol is an antiparasitic medication, and hydrocele is a condition characterized by fluid accumulation in the scrotum.
Recommendations
- Consult a urologist: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to discuss alternative treatment options.
- Re-evaluate treatment: Consider needle aspiration or surgery, which are more effective treatments for hydrocele.
- Stop Ivermectol: Discontinue taking Ivermectol, as it may not be addressing the underlying condition.

View allI'm really concerned because it seems like the skin on my penis is growing and closing over the top. There are also a few cuts, and the skin doesnt move down like it used to, which is making things really uncomfortable. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight and cannot be fully retracted over the head of the penis. This can lead to cuts and difficulty retracting the foreskin. I recommend using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% to help reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the tight area twice a day for several weeks. If the condition does not improve or if you experience worsening symptoms, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been having this weird leg pain, mostly in my right leg, and it happens right before I need to pee. The pain goes away once I've urinated. What might be causing this?
The leg pain before urinating, especially in the right leg, could be related to various factors, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones or nerve compression; however, a possible cause is also obturator nerve compression or irritation, which can radiate pain to the leg, especially before urinating, and relief after passing urine.

I've been having some trouble lately with my penis not getting fully hard or straight, even though my sexual desire is still there. Everything was fine just about three weeks ago. I also noticed that before this started, I wasn't able to hold sex for a long time. I'm getting a bit worried about what's going on. Could this be something serious or maybe just stress?
