I'm really worried because there's minimal free fluid in my pelvis, and I've been having severe stomach pain. I was admitted to a nearby hospital, and the MD observed me, but my condition hasn't improved. Can anyone suggest what the underlying issue might be, or if there's a specific direction we should explore for better treatment?

Hydrocele can be uncomfortable. Since you're not experiencing pain, you can try the following non-surgical methods to reduce the size:

Elevation: Elevate your scrotum while sitting or lying down to reduce swelling.

Supportive underwear: Wear supportive, loose-fitting underwear to reduce pressure.

Exercise: Regular exercise, like cycling or swimming, can help improve circulation and reduce swelling.

Dietary changes: Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to improve overall health.

If these methods don't help, consider consulting a urologist for surgical options, such as hydrocelectomy.

I've been struggling with painful sex because my vaginal opening seems too small, and even using lube doesn't help much. My doctor mentioned I might need minor surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any medications or other non-surgical options that could help with this issue

I'm really trying to understand what's happening with my body. My period is now 5 days late, and I've taken a home pregnancy test twice, but both times it was negative. I've noticed some white vaginal discharge and it sometimes burns. I'm also feeling really tired all the time, have some lower back pain, and I'm just generally frustrated. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Given your symptoms, consider taking a blood pregnancy test (beta hCG) for more accurate results, and consult your gynecologist to rule out other conditions, such as yeast infections (causing discharge and burning), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other hormonal imbalances, which may be contributing to your fatigue, back pain, and frustration, and also discuss fertility options and potential underlying causes for delayed conception.
