For your 2-year-old‚Äôs tight foreskin, many cases improve with gentle stretching exercises. If the doctor recommends circumcision, consider getting a second opinion or exploring non-surgical alternatives first.

Question

I'm really worried about this cyst that's developed on my scrotal sac. It's getting to be about 24 mm in size, and I'm thinking I might need it surgically removed. Could you give me an idea of what that might cost?

Question

I've had a hydrocele on my left side for about 5 years now, and initially, doctors said it was normal and didn't need treatment. But last month, my doctor recommended surgery. I'm really trying to avoid surgery are there any other options? I've been doing a fruit diet and cold hip baths, but I'm not sure if that's enough. What else can I try?

Question

Can fistula and hydrocele surgeries be done at the same time or is it better to do them separately I've heard mixed opinions and want to understand the risks and recovery process if both are done together
