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've had this issue where I accidentally cut my penis somehow last week, maybe with my nail or a zipper, and now there's a scab on it. It's about a centimeter long and hurts when I touch it. What should I do?

It sounds like you may have a minor wound on your penis. To help with healing and prevent infection, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin to the affected area twice a day. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any further trauma to the area. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
