I've had a hydrocele for 3 years now and I'm really worried about surgery. Is there any other treatment that can fix this without going under the knife? Also if I do get the surgery, is there a chance the hydrocele might come back later?

yes, can come back later on.

I have a 13.49 mm stone in my right upper ureter, about 2 cm from the pelvic ureteric junction, and it's causing grade 1 hydronephrosis. I'm trying to figure out the best surgery option should I go for ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy or PCNL? What would you recommend based on the size and location of the stone?
For your 13.49 mm stone in the upper ureter, near the pelvic ureteric junction, causing grade 1 hydronephrosis, ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy (URSL) is generally recommended over PCNL. URSL is a minimally invasive procedure that allows for targeted stone fragmentation and removal through the ureter. PCNL, while effective, is more invasive and carries a higher risk of complications.

I noticed that the back side of the top of my penis got swollen after I masturbated last night. It's kind of worrying me. What could be going on, and what should I do about this?
Could be due to irritation or inflammation. I recommend using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the swelling and discomfort. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to the affected area twice a day for about a week. If the swelling does not improve or if you experience any pain, fever, or discharge, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
