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 have a 4mm stone in my left ureter and I'm worried if it can pass on its own or if I'll need surgery. Right now I'm taking Drotin M for the pain but I'm not sure what to expect next. Can you help me understand my options?
A 4mm stone in the ureter can sometimes pass on its own, but if it doesn’t, surgery may be needed. Drotin M can help with pain management, but follow up with your doctor for further treatment options.

I have a 9.5 mm stone in my right kidney and a 4.5 mm one in the left can these pass naturally or do I need meds to help break them down? Really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.
Stones under 5 mm often pass naturally; 9.5 mm may need lithotripsy or stenting. Hydration, tamsulosin, and pain control are important until reviewed by a urologist.
