Make sure to follow the full treatment plan prescribed by your doctor, and take steps to maintain good hygiene and sexual health.

I'm kind of worried because I've noticed this small bump on the side of my urinary meatus. It's been there for about two months now, and even though it's not causing any pain or discomfort, it hasn't gone away or changed at all. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might just go away on its own?

My left testicle hangs much lower than my right one and sometimes feels like it's burning. I've heard about bell clapper deformity causing testicular torsion and I'm worried because I also have bilateral grade 1 varicocele. Could this deformity be why my left testicle hangs differently? Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with medications?

Lower testicle and mild varicocele can be normal, but persistent pain needs evaluation. Bell clapper deformity may need surgery if torsion risk is high.
