I'm a bit worried about my left testicle because it hangs much lower than the right one and there's a burning sensation. I've read about bell clapper deformity and how it might lead to testicular torsion. Also, I've been diagnosed with bilateral grade 1 varicocele. I'm wondering if I might need surgery for this or if it can be managed with medicine. Could you help clarify this for me?

I'm worried because my penis has suddenly gotten swollen, and I dont exactly know why. I was traveling on a bus last night, and this morning I noticed it was a bit swollen. Now, it seems to have gotten worse. There's been no sexual activity or anything else that could explain it. Could something have bitten me, and what should I do about it? Can you help me out with some advice?

I'm 21 and have been diagnosed with hydrocele. Is there any chance it can go away on its own or would I need surgery? Also, how much does the surgery usually cost?

Hydroceles in adults rarely resolve on their own; surgery is the definitive treatment and costs vary depending on hospital type and location.
