I've had a lump on my penis for a few years, and recently I've noticed two more smaller ones have appeared. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Any idea what might be going on?

This could be due to various reasons such as infections, cysts, or other underlying conditions. I recommend you to take Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the lumps. However, it is important to have a physical examination by a healthcare provider to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

What are the non-surgical treatment options for grade 23 varicocele and are there any medicines that can actually cure it without needing surgery

For a Grade 2 or 3 varicocele, non-surgical options like embolization (blocking the affected veins) and lifestyle changes are available, but no medications can cure it. Embolization is often preferred for its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery. Lifestyle changes, such as wearing supportive underwear, can help manage symptoms

How many times should a person urinate per day?

Most people urinate between six and eight times a day. But if you're drinking plenty, it's not abnormal to go as many as 10 times a day.

my dad has a 7mm calculus in his left mid ureter and the doctor recommended urs surgery can we wait a bit longer to see if it passes naturally or is surgery urgent

A 7mm kidney stone in the left mid ureter is unlikely to pass spontaneously, and surgery (URSL, or ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy) may be recommended. While you can explore waiting a bit to see if the stone passes naturally, especially if pain is manageable, surgery is generally indicated for stones of this size. However, discuss this with your dad's doctor to determine the best course of action, considering his individual situation.
