I've been having back pain for a few months and an ultrasound showed a 10x9mm cortical cyst in my right kidney's lower pole - should I be worried about this? Do I need surgery for something this size or can it be managed without an operation?

Undergo CT scan with contrast to find out if cyst is complex or not . If complex u may require surgery but I’m not complex nothing to worry. Ultrasound can also specify simple cyst if done by good radiologist

I'm feeling some discomfort in the area around my left testicle, but not directly in the testicle itself. It's not exactly painful, more like an uneasy feeling. Should I be concerned or get it checked out?

The uneasy feeling in the left testicle area, but not directly in the testicles, could be related to epididymitis, a groin strain, or a hernia; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional, such as a primary care physician or a urologist, for a proper evaluation, as they can perform a physical examination and potentially order imaging tests to determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

3 months and 15 days ago I had hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh but now I have pain in the circular area is this normal or could there be a problem

It's possible that the pain you're experiencing is normal post-surgery, but it's crucial to consult with your doctor to rule out any complications. While some pain is expected after hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh, it should typically decrease over time. If the pain persists or worsens, especially in a circular area, it could indicate a problem like nerve damage, inflammation, or even mesh-related issues
