Question 1

I have a small egg-like lump near my right testicle inside the scrotum that feels slippery and moves around. It gives me a slight electric shock-like pain that's really bothering me. An ultrasound showed it's a small epididymal cyst. What can be done to drain it or ease the pain? Can meds help or is surgery the only option?

Accepted Answer

Usually epididymal cysts will not cause any problem and treating them might cause problem including surgery.
 If there is infection you need to be treated. These cysts will not harm you unless increase in size.
 Get a check up with urologist.

Question 2

I've been taking ashwagandha from an organic brand and I've noticed that I'm needing to pee really frequently, and this has been going on for the last year and a half. Can you suggest any solutions for this? I'm getting a bit worried about it.

Accepted Answer

This could be due to the diuretic effect of ashwagandha. I recommend stopping the ashwagandha supplement and consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Question 3

I'm considering getting a vasectomy in Bangalore and was wondering how much it might cost. And after the surgery, how long would the recovery period be? Also, can I use my health insurance to cover the expenses?
