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?

I drink plenty of water and watch my diet but still keep getting kidney stones - this is my third surgery to remove them why do they keep forming even when I'm careful what causes these stones to develop repeatedly

Even with good hydration and dietary choices, recurring kidney stones can be due to various factors including underlying medical conditions, genetic predisposition, or certain medications. Your doctor may need to investigate further to determine the specific cause of your recurring stones and tailor a prevention plan.
