I've had a hydrocele in my left testis for the past 4 years and the size hasn't changed but for the last month there's been very mild pain. Doctors suggest surgery but I'd prefer not to go that route. Is there any effective homeopathy or ayurvedic treatment that can help with this condition

While homeopathy and Ayurveda offer alternative approaches, there's limited scientific evidence to support their efficacy in treating hydroceles definitively. Conventional medical treatment, such as surgery (hydrocelectomy), is the generally recommended approach when hydroceles cause significant pain, discomfort, or complications

my foreskin retracts fine when soft but gets stuck when erect is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments that could help

I have a frequent urine problem and consulted a urologist who prescribed me Pyridium, Urispas, and Alkasol syrup. After checking my urine report, he said my urine pipe is slightly shrunk and recommended surgery, but I don't want to go for it. I'm also taking Cantharis 30. Are these medicines okay or should I try something else?
