Hi.. I'm Sam... 20 yrs old...
I used to have a lot of pain in my left testicle three months ago and after I went to a doctor he prescribed me some medicine and it was all right...
I've been noticing from few days that my left testicle has swollen and has some fluid in it..
I Googled it and found out it is hydrocele...
I am having my semester exams from tomorrow so I am scheduled to have surgery next month...
I have extra skin on my penis and the skin is completely non-rectractable... it causes me lot of worries...
I had an UTI couple of years ago.. and I read that phimosis surgery(circumcision) can reduce all sorts of STD and UTI...
I've been thinking if I can undergo both surgeries at once to avoid long waiting to heal to undergo another Surgery...
Please give your valuable suggestions...

These are issues that you should find the answers from a Doctor that has had a chance to examine you and collect some of your medical history.

To diagnose yourself on the internet and/or try to plan how your surgery (s) can be performed is not a method I would even consider when such important issues and body parts are involved.

My advice is to get to a doctor and get examined , then begin to formulate plans and answers.

After that. Get a second opinion from another doctor . Just to be sure.
