I've been diagnosed with a very small reducible hernia and bilateral hydrocele. Should I consider surgery for this or are there other treatment options? I'm a bit worried about whether this needs immediate attention or if I can manage it without an operation. What would you recommend?

Hydroceles can call for surgery if they cause symptoms, become large or continue to show changes in size by about a year of age. If the hydrocele is "non-communicating," meaning there is no related indirect inguinal hernia, the hydrocele sac is taken out, often through an incision in the scrotum.

View allI've been feeling some mild pain in my lower abdomen, around the groin area, and just above my penis. The weird thing is, it seems to ease up when I pass gas and there's just a lot of gas happening. I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with renal stones a couple of months ago. Could this be related to those stones, or is it something else?
Chest Pain, Headache, and Digestive Issues _Possible causes:_ 1. _Digestive issues_: Consuming milk and curd simultaneously may have caused digestive discomfort. 2. _Acid reflux_: Stomach acid may be flowing back up into the esophagus, causing chest pain and discomfort. 3. _Other possibilities_: Anxiety, stress, or other underlying medical conditions. _Remedy suggestions:_ 1. _Digestive enzymes_: Take digestive enzyme supplements or eat foods rich in enzymes, such as papaya or pineapple. 2. _Avoid simultaneous dairy consumption_: Stop consuming milk and curd together to alleviate digestive discomfort. 3. _Ginger and lemon_: Try ginger tea or add lemon juice to water to help alleviate digestive issues. 4. _Antacids or acid reducers_: If you experience acid reflux symptoms, consider taking antacids or acid reducers. 5. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help with digestion and overall health. 6. _Rest and relaxation_: Prioritize rest and engage in stress-reducing activities, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises. _Consult a doctor:_ 1. _Schedule a follow-up appointment_: Revisit your doctor to discuss your ongoing symptoms and adjust your treatment plan. 2. _Undergo further testing_: Your doctor may recommend additional tests to rule out underlying conditions.

I'm pretty worried because during sex I accidentally cut my frenulum and it bled quite a bit. The bleeding stopped after a while, but it's been a couple of days now, and I feel pain when my penis gets hard. It's strange because the pain comes and goes throughout the day, but there's none when I pee or otherwise. I read somewhere that I shouldn't panic and it might heal on its own in a few weeks, but I'd really like to know if there's any medication or treatment I could use to recover faster. Any advice would be really helpful.
Based on your description, it sounds like you have experienced a frenulum tear. To help with the pain and promote healing, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen. I recommend taking ibuprofen 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area twice a day can help prevent infection and aid in healing. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. In case of persistent or worsening symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
