I've heard that the foreskin should roll back completely, but mine doesnt quite do that. The front part rolls back, but the back seems to stay attached to my penis. How can I get it to roll back completely and expose the red part?

The issue you're describing is related to a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is partially or completely unable to retract over the glans penis; to address this, gently stretch the foreskin over time through manual retraction, using lubricants to reduce friction, and consider consulting a urologist or healthcare professional for guidance on proper technique and potential treatment options, such as topical creams or, in severe cases, circumcision.

View allIs hydrocele surgery the only way to fix it or are there other treatments I can try first
While surgery (hydrocelectomy) is often the primary treatment for hydrocele, particularly in adults or for persistent hydroceles, it's not always the first step. In some cases, hydroceles may resolve on their own, especially in infants. Non-surgical options like aspiration and sclerotherapy, or simply monitoring the hydrocele, may be considered before surgery.

I've been having pain in my left testicle and noticed something like a bag of worms in my scrotum. Could this be treated without surgery, and is there a risk of infertility later on?

I'm experiencing a little bit of pain in my left testicle and I've noticed that it doesn't look the same as usual. It seems like the left side is swelling. Should I be concerned about this?
The symptoms you've described, including pain in the left testicle, swelling, and an abnormal shape, warrant immediate medical attention, as they could be indicative of a serious condition, such as testicular torsion, epididymitis, orchitis please visit a urologist or an emergency room as soon as possible for a thorough evaluation, including a physical exam, ultrasound, and potentially other imaging tests, to determine the cause and receive prompt treatment.
