I've noticed this tiny hard growth on my foreskin, about the size of a grain of sand. It's not itchy or burning or anything, but I'm a bit worried about what it could be. Any ideas on what this might be or if I should get it checked out?

This could potentially be a condition called Fordyce spots, which are small, raised, pale red, yellow-white, or skin-colored bumps that can appear on the shaft of the penis or the foreskin. They are usually harmless and do not require treatment. However, it is important to have it properly diagnosed by a healthcare provider to rule out any other possible conditions.

I've had bilateral varicocele for the past 2 years and have been feeling dull pain for the last 10 days. I'm taking Venixmin 900 mg and rutoheal but there's no relief. The surgeon said it's mild and doesn't need treatment, but the pain bothers me. I'm in my 4th year of MBBS and worried about infertility risks. If the pain goes away, do I still need any treatment? What's the best surgery option to prevent recurrence

My dad has been dealing with frequent urination for a long time. The reports show no infection, but he still goes way too often even though he doesn't drink much water. He also struggles with controlling it because of the frequency. Is there a permanent fix for this? Could surgery help solve the problem?

However, frequent urination can also indicate an underlying problem. Some of these may include kidney or ureter problems, urinary bladder problems, diabetes, and prostate gland problems.
