I've been having this issue where every time I shake my penis, it gets this bulge on it. It's really odd because after about 8 hours, it seems to go back to its normal shape. This has been worrying me, and I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

The bulge on your penis after shaking it, which resolves on its own within 8 hours, might be due to a condition called Peyronie's disease or trauma-induced swelling; apply ice packs, avoid vigorous shaking, and consult a urologist for proper evaluation and guidance to prevent potential long-term damag

I have a cyst in my scrotum and I'm really worried about it. Are there any other treatment options besides surgery that might help? I'd prefer to avoid an operation if possible. What can I do to manage it or make it go away?

Generally, these cysts don't cause any symptoms. However, they may cause feelings of heaviness or a dull ache in the scrotum. There are no known risk factors for cysts, and they rarely require treatment. In cases where cysts cause symptoms, such as pain, surgery may be recommended.
