I've had two cyst lumps in my groin for about a year now and want to get rid of them. They don't hurt or itch - is there any way to remove them without surgery?

View allI recently had inguinal hernia surgery about five days ago and I'm wondering how I should be taking care of myself right now. How long does this recovery process typically take? Also, is it safe for me to masturbate if I'm not experiencing any pain?
After inguinal hernia surgery, follow your surgeon's specific instructions, but generally, for 4-6 weeks, avoid heavy lifting, bending, or strenuous activities, take pain medication as prescribed, and keep the incision site clean and dry; regarding masturbation, it's generally recommended to avoid any activity that may cause discomfort, tension, or strain on the surgical site for 2-4 weeks, so wait until your surgeon clears you for such activities, usually during the follow-up appointment.

Had inguinal hernia surgery 11 days ago and got my sutures removed yesterday is it safe to ride a self-start bike without kickstarting or should I wait longer
It’s best to avoid riding for at least 2–3 weeks post-hernia surgery to prevent strain and ensure proper healing.

My father-in-law is 55 and a farmer, pretty fit overall. He's had swelling and pain below the scrotum for about a year, and now the pain is getting worse. A doctor said it might be a hernia. At what point does he need surgery? Are there any meds that can help avoid surgery? Is it better to get surgery done early?
yes ,surgery is advised.
