I've had an encysted hydrocele for about 3 years now and I'm based in Chennai. Is surgery the only option for this or are there other treatments I can consider? It's been bothering me for a while and I'm not sure what to do next.

Surgery is typically the most effective way to treat an encysted hydrocele, though there may be non-invasive options like aspiration or drainage. Consult with a specialist in Chennai for the best course of action.

Ive been noticing some swelling on the lower left side of my waist whenever I eat or drink water, or even when I try to hold in my urine. It's kind of worrying me because there's no pain involved. Could you shed some light on what this might be and what kind of treatment I should consider?

The swelling on your lower left waist without pain could be due to constipation, water retention, or a possible kidney issue; consult a general surgeon for a proper evaluation, and in the meantime, try increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and managing urine flow to alleviate symptoms.

Large size prostate causes urinary symptoms but to decide for the surgery patients symptoms are more important then the size alone.So if he is suffering more surgery may help
