I've had a mild hydrocele in my right testis for about 10 years now. It hasn't gotten bigger, but lately I've been feeling some slight pain. Is surgery necessary or can this be treated with medication?

View allI'm looking for some advice. Can I have sex with my partner using Viagra or a similar medication on the day her egg ruptures for pregnancy? Last time, we missed that crucial day because of performance stress. Also, I'm wondering, does using Viagra affect the quantity or quality of sperm in any way?
Taking Viagra should have no effect on sperm qualitymorphology. You can use it during your partner's ovulation period safely. If your erectile dysfunction persists or worsens, it may be advisable to consult a specialist.

I've been diagnosed with a very small reducible hernia and bilateral hydrocele. Should I consider surgery for this or are there other treatment options? I'm a bit worried about whether this needs immediate attention or if I can manage it without an operation. What would you recommend?
Hydroceles can call for surgery if they cause symptoms, become large or continue to show changes in size by about a year of age. If the hydrocele is "non-communicating," meaning there is no related indirect inguinal hernia, the hydrocele sac is taken out, often through an incision in the scrotum.
