Hydrocele is a condition when fluids get accumulated in the scrotum. The reason why the fluids get accumulated may vary depending on the type of hydrocele. Infants most often need no treatment but in case of adults, surgical treatment is the only option. Visit the article to learn answers to most frequently asked questions on hydrocele.
Hydrocele is a condition when water-like fluid gets accumulated in the scrotum making it large and uncomfortable to sit, stand or walk. The fluid can sometimes be in light yellowish colour instead of white or silvery.
As per a study conducted in 2020, where laser circumcision was performed on 40 teenagers to young adults, following were the observations that were made:The average time of surgery was significantly less when laser was used in circumcision. The estimated blood loss was very less compared to conventional circumcision. Post operative complications were very minimal.
Scrotal swelling is the swelling of scrotum (the sack/bag that holds your balls). Reasons can be many from a harmless cyst to cancerous tumor. If you have persistent pain and see any kind of swelling, don’t delay; see a good sex specialist immediately. After a physical examination, your doctor may ask for imaging or biopsy to determine/confirm the actual cause and treat accordingly. Treatment of scrotal swelling may be as simple as a prescription or may even require a surgery.
Balanitis is a condition when the head of the penis (glans) is inflamed. This can be due to different reasons such as tight foreskin (phimosis), infection or even due to irritation of the penis glans. This is not a severe problem but if ignored, this can turn out to be a problem. Kids under the age of 5 may have this problem due to tight foreskin (phimosis) but after 5 to 6 years of age, the issue usually resolve on it’s own. If not, you will have to see a good sexologist as early as possible.
This stapler device (that you can see in the above picture) has been developed in China. It includes two parts, inner bell & outer bell. The inner bell is designed to protect the inner glans and the outer bell consists of a blade to cut the foreskin and staples to close the wound for simultaneous hemostasis.
Circumcision Techniques Before we get into the actual techniques used to perform circumcision (for babies or adults or men with penile problems), lets reiterate a bit on what Circumcision is.

Varicocele – All you want to know What is varicocele? A varicocele is an abnormal enlargement or engorgement of the veins within the scrotum.

Paraphimosis is a condition where the retracted foreskin of the penis cannot be returned to its normal position (in an uncircumcised individual). Paraphimosis is a relatively uncommon condition and is most commonly due to iatrogenic reasons or inadvertently caused condition. Paraphimosis defers from phimosis in that in phimosis the foreskin cannot be retracted beyond the glans penis. Paraphimosis is a clinical emergency as failure to recognise and treat this can lead to loss of the glans penis.
Male Circumcision – Is it for all? Before we start off with the article, let me tell you that I am shocked when I learnt that people are searching for ‘home circumcision’, ‘how to do circumcision at home’, ‘how to cut foreskin at home’, ‘home treatment for sunnat’, ‘sunnat operation at home’, ‘how to foreskin…
Paraphimosis is a surgical emergency that results from the prepuce (foreskin) being stuck at the corona glandis (rim of the glans). The patient is unable to roll the skin back normally. This condition usually occurs in individuals who have a tight prepuce. The trigger could be forceful prolonged duration masturbation or it could be intercourse in a dry vagina. When this occurs there is usually pain and swelling that results from blockade of lymphatics in that area. As time progresses the swelling becomes worse and chances of the paraphimosis reducing on its own become negligible.
