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?

I'm experiencing a burning sensation and pain at the tip of my penis every time I use the toilet. I've seen a doctor and they did an ultrasound which came back normal. I also visited a urologist who said there's no major issue, but I'm still having these symptoms despite taking medication. What should I do?

Practice Kaegel excercise and take plenty of water, this will help you

I've noticed that my penis seems smaller in both length and width compared to how it was before, and it feels like it's shrinking over time. Is there any medication or treatment available to help get it back to its previous size?

hey, length of penis remains the same , it will not decrease , don't worry, it attains max length during erection and shrinks afterwards
