I've been dealing with this tingling sensation and burning at the tip of my penis when I pee for almost a year now. I saw a doctor before, and they put me on antidepressants, which seemed to help, but whenever I stop taking them, the symptoms come back. I've also noticed some pain at the base of my penis. What's going on here? Is there something else I should be looking into?

Tingling in the penile area, burning sensation at the tip of the penis after urination, and pain at the base of the penis could be indicative of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Since you have already tried antidepressants without complete relief, I recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation and possible prescription of antibiotics. In the meantime, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen for the pain.

View allI've had a hydrocele on my left side for about 5 years now, and initially, doctors said it was normal and didn't need treatment. But last month, my doctor recommended surgery. I'm really trying to avoid surgery are there any other options? I've been doing a fruit diet and cold hip baths, but I'm not sure if that's enough. What else can I try?
While a fruit diet and cold hip baths might offer some temporary relief, they won't resolve a hydrocele. Once a hydrocele persists or becomes large enough to cause discomfort or becomes unsightly, surgery (hydrocelectomy) is generally the recommended treatment, according to multiple sources. Other options like aspiration and sclerotherapy may be considered, but they often come with a higher risk of recurrence than surgery.

My PSA level is 100 ng/ml and I'm having really bad pain when I pee, plus the flow is super slow. What should I do next? Is this life-threatening or can it be treated without surgery?
A PSA level of 100 ng/ml and the symptoms you're describing (painful urination and slow flow) are very concerning and should be evaluated urgently. It's crucial to seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and appropriate treatment plan. While not necessarily life-threatening immediately, the symptoms and PSA level suggest a need for a urologist's evaluation

How do I properly massage my penis and testicles, and is it safe to use coconut oil for this? I've been curious about whether there's a right technique and if coconut oil is a good option.
To massage your penis and testicles, use gentle, circular motions without applying excessive pressure. Coconut oil can be used as a lubricant due to its moisturizing properties, but ensure you're not allergic. If you have any concerns or discomfort, its best to consult a healthcare professional.
