My 4-year-old son has had an enlarged and hard right testicle for a week but no pain or irritation. The doctor suggested a scrotum ultrasound which showed hydrocele. Can it be treated without surgery? We're really worried about him going through surgery at this age. (Note: Kept the tone natural, removed excessive punctuation, avoided formal openings, and maintained the medical terms like hydrocele and scrotum ultrasound while expressing parental concern.)

I'm dealing with a tight foreskin problem. It's really not soft, and when my penis is erect, it feels hard, and I can't fully pull it back. I'm a bit worried about this. Can you suggest any treatments or options for this issue?

You're experiencing symptoms of phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be retracted; treatment options include topical steroid creams like betamethasone to loosen the skin, manual stretching exercises, or in severe cases, circumcision or preputioplasty surgery, so consult a urologist
