My 2-year-old daughter has a small 3.4mm inguinal hernia on the right side. A few doctors have recommended surgery, but I'm worried about putting her through an operation at such a young age. Are there any non-surgical options to treat this or could it heal on its own? What would you suggest for her case?

I'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.
