I've had an enlarged scrotum since childhood and suspect it might be hydrocele. I'm considering surgery but worried it could affect my chances of joining the navy since that's my career goal. Can you advise if hydrocele surgery would disqualify me or if there are other treatment options that wouldn't impact my navy eligibility?

View allI've been dealing with what's probably jock itch and I've been sexually active while this was happening and even masturbated. Now there's this swelling on my penis, like half an inch down from the head, forming a ring about the same width around it. I'm circumcised, but there's also a lot of swelling at the bottom of the head, particularly on the foreskin underneath. I'm really worried about all this and I am wondering what the problem could be and how to handle it as soon as possible.
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm having trouble with getting a proper erection, and my penis takes a while to get hard. Even when it does, it's not the firmness I'd expect. Plus, I'm experiencing quick discharge during sex with my partner, which is really causing me some embarrassment. I'm feeling quite ashamed and would appreciate any advice or solutions you might have.
-I'm really sorry you're feeling this way, but don't be ashamed. It's common for men to experience issues with erections or premature ejaculation at times. Stress, anxiety, and other factors can contribute to this, so I recommend speaking with a healthcar

I've been noticing that I get a cut on the upper skin of my penis every time I have sex or masturbate. It's just at the tip and sometimes it itches with a small drop of blood showing up. I've tried so many ointments but nothing seems to work. I'm 45 and this whole situation is really affecting my sex life. Can you please help me figure out what might be going on?
That needs evaluation and physical examinantion,visit surgeon for the same and appropriate management
