I've had this discomfort in the middle of my penis corona for quite a while, and it's really starting to bother me. It's not super painful, but it's irritating enough that I've had to change how I masturbate, and it's been swollen for a long time. I've also noticed that the pain tends to get a bit worse after each time I masturbate. I have had sex before, but that was quite some time ago, long before all this started. What could be going on here? Should I be worried about this swelling and irritation?

It sounds like you might have inflammation or irritation of the penis, potentially from overuse or unnoticed trauma. To help it heal, try reducing masturbation frequency, avoid tight grips, and keep the area clean and moisturized. If swelling or discomfort persists, please see a doctor to rule out infections or other concerns.

I'm a 32-year-old male dealing with hydrocele and looking for a doctor near Thane. Can you tell me how long the surgery takes, what the cost might be, and if there are any other treatment options besides surgery?

For adult males, hydroceles often go away on their own within six months. A hydrocele requires treatment only if it gets large enough to cause discomfort or disfigurement. Then it might need to be surgically removed... The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis during general or regional anesthesia..No other treatment are as effective as surgery..Consult Surgeon for further advice...

I'm a bit worried because my serum creatinine level came back as 1.5 in my report. Does this mean something's wrong? I saw a urologist, but they didn't mention anything about it. Should I be concerned?

A serum creatinine level of 1.5 mgdL is slightly elevated, as the normal range is typically 0.6-1.2 mgdL, but it's not alarmingly high; the urologist might not have flagged it as abnormal since it's mildly elevated, but it's essential to monitor kidney function and recheck creatinine levels to ensure it doesn't indicate underlying kidney issues.
