I've noticed a soft, painless lump on my forehead that's about 1.5 cm my doctor said it's a lipoma. It doesn't bother me much but I'm curious about removal options and what the surgery might cost

Most lipomas are removed surgically by cutting them out. Lipomas typically don't return once they're removed.

View allI've been noticing some discomfort around my belly button, and there's this small lump right over it. When I press on it, it seems to go in but then it comes back after a bit. I'm a bit worried about what this could be. Any idea what might be going on?
Pre-ejaculate fluid (pre-cum) may contain sperm. Although the urethra is flushed with urine, residual sperm can remain. Studies show: - 17-37% of pre-cum samples contain sperm - Sperm can survive in the urethra for up to 24 hours However, the likelihood of pregnancy from pre-cum is relatively low. To minimize risk, use protection or practice withdrawal with caution.

My nephew was just diagnosed with Harnia based on his sonography report. I'm really worried does this condition usually require surgery or are there other treatment options we should consider first?
Most hernias in children need surgery, especially if it’s inguinal or irreducible—ultrasound and surgeon review advised.

My 3-year-old son was diagnosed with mild hydrocele with no hernia. The pediatrician referred us to a surgeon, and we have an appointment today. I wanted to know if surgery is the only option or if there are medications available too. Also, is it safe to wait a year or two until he's older for the surgery?
Usually 3 years is too late for conservative management. So most likely a survey will be required . However no medication are available to treat this condition
