I've had a lump on my scrotum for about 10-12 years now. It started as a small pimple but slowly turned into a bigger lump. It doesn't hurt even when I press it, but it looks bad and bothers me a lot. I'm worried it might cause issues later. Can you tell me if I can treat it with medicine or if I'll need surgery to remove it?

A spermatocele happens when a cyst grows in the epididymis, a tube in each of your testicles that contains fluid and unused sperm. It doesn't cause any pain, but you can feel a spermatocele as a tiny, firm lump underneath the skin of the scrotum. Spermatoceles are harmless and can't become cancerous

I'm having some trouble with my foreskin. It's kind of tight, and I'm really not keen on having surgery. Do you have any suggestions on how I can deal with this issue without going under the knife? Any help would be appreciated!

If your foreskin is tight, a condition called phimosis, non-surgical options like gentle stretching exercises, using a steroid cream prescribed by a doctor, or trying a non-invasive method like a foreskin dilation device can be effective. However, it's important to consult a urologist to ensure the right treatment for your situation.

I'm noticing a problem when I go to the bathroom. After I finish urinating, there are still a few drops that keep coming out for about 5 minutes afterward. I'm a bit concerned about what's causing this and what I can do about it. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest any possible treatments?
