My nephew has a urinary bump below his private area and some doctors said it might be a fistula needing open surgery. Is there any chance it can heal with medicines or other treatments instead of surgery? Really worried and looking for advice.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

Had a vasectomy in December but still noticing white semen during ejaculation. Is this normal or should I be concerned about the surgery not working properly?

It's normal to have white semen after a vasectomy. While the vasectomy prevents sperm from being carried in the semen, the body still produces fluids and other substances that make up the ejaculate, which usually appear white or cloudy.

I'm a bit worried because the foreskin of my penis used to be attached to the tip, but now it's come down and the head is exposed. It's super sensitive to touch, and I'd really appreciate some advice on how to make it less sensitive. Also, the foreskin isn't going back to the tip. I'm not sure why this is happening, and any help on both these issues would be great.
