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
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allI'm really concerned because during sex, my foreskin doesn't seem to retract properly, and it's starting to get more painful. Is there something I can do to fix this issue, or should I be worried about it getting worse?

Why do I get frequent urinary tract infections?
Recurrent UTIs (RUTI) are mainly caused by reinfection by the same pathogen. Having frequent sexual intercourse is one of the greatest risk factors for RUTIs. In a subgroup of individuals with coexisting morbid conditions, complicated RUTIs can lead to upper tract infections or urosepsis.
