I've had a hydrocele in my right testicle since 2008 and got surgery in 2015, but the size still isn't normal and it hurts when I touch it. Why hasn't it gone back to normal and what could be causing the pain even after surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable to be concerned about the persistence of your hydrocele and the pain you're experiencing. While hydrocele surgery, or hydrocelectomy, is usually successful, there are instances where the hydrocele may not completely resolve or cause post-surgical pain

View allI've had tight foreskin since I was a kid and thought it would loosen over time if I kept pulling it back, but now I'm 25 and it's still really tight. There's only about a 34mm opening to pee through, and I get this white stuff building up that causes itching. I'm worried surgery might remove the whole foreskin are there other options that can fix this without taking it all off?
Yes, there are non-surgical options to address phimosis (tight foreskin) in addition to circumcision. You can try stretching exercises, using topical steroid creams, and practicing good hygiene to potentially loosen the foreskin and alleviate the symptoms you've described. If those methods are not effective, there are also surgical options that can address the problem without necessarily removing the entire foreskin

I'm 24 and dealing with phimosis my foreskin is really tight. I'm scared of surgery though. Can betnovate cream or homeopathic treatments help fix this without needing an operation?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

What could happen if I leave my grade 3 left varicocele untreated and how effective is homeopathic treatment for this condition
Leaving an untreated grade 3 varicocele can lead to testicular atrophy, reduced testosterone levels, and potential fertility issues. Homeopathic treatments are generally not considered effective for correcting or reversing varicocele
