I've been treated for balanitis before and it got better, but it seems to come back whenever I have sex. Can you help me figure out how to get rid of it for good?

To prevent balanitis from recurring, it's crucial to identify the root causewhether its an infection, poor hygiene, irritants, or an underlying conditionand address it accordingly. Make sure to follow the full treatment plan prescribed by your doctor, and take steps to maintain good hygiene and sexual health. If the condition persists or worsens, further evaluation and possibly a different treatment regimen may be necessary.

I've been experiencing a burning sensation in a vein in the area between my thighs, I think it's called the perineum. It started when I walked, and I thought it was because of my pubic hair, so I trimmed them. But then I noticed a thick line from my anus to scrotum, maybe a nerve, that burns whenever it's touched. Now it's really tough for me to walk. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

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?

While a fruit diet and cold hip baths might offer some temporary relief, they won't resolve a hydrocele. Once a hydrocele persists or becomes large enough to cause discomfort or becomes unsightly, surgery (hydrocelectomy) is generally the recommended treatment, according to multiple sources. Other options like aspiration and sclerotherapy may be considered, but they often come with a higher risk of recurrence than surgery.
