If it hurts and you are bothered, then I would seek a general surgeon who has expertise in lap hernia repairs. If you are asymptotic, then I would observe until it gets bigger or there is pain. If there is bowel in the hernia and you feel bubbling in the scrotum, you need it fixed sooner due to the risk of strangulation of the bowel.

What you have is classic stress urinary incontinence. It is usually due to childbirth. It is not due to a weak bladder, but a weak incompetent urethra. You can trial pelvic floor rehab or proceed with a urethral sling. I would suggest you make an appointment with a Urogynocolgist or a female urologist.

Yes, this is consistent with a possible urinary tract infection. My advice is to either go to your primary care physician or to an urgent care and get a clean catch urinary culture. Home remedies can be: take vitamin C 500 mg twice a day for three days and flush yourself with a large amount of water/cranberry juice and sometimes will clear by itself.

Blood in the urine at any age is abnormal and needs to be worked up. My gut feeling it that you probably passed a small kidney stone. You need the following tests: 1) urine culture and urine cytology, 2) CT of the kidneys and bladder known as a CT urogram, 3) maybe a cystoscopy if you continue to bleed and the above studies are negative.

Protein in urine question

Protein in the urine is a sign that there is damage to the filter in the kidney. Whether or not you develop chronic kidney disease depends on the amount of protein you were spilling in the urine. A nephrologist is the Doctor to see for this. They may recommend a 24 hour urine collection or a kidney biopsy. This will give the information on what to expect for progression of renal disease in the future.

100% yes. Unfortunately once you lose one testicle the other testicle will get larger, Hypertrophy, and you may need to upsize a few years from now. I typically put a slightly larger implant to account for this expected growth. The risks are very low. Biggest complaint is that the implant does not move up and down like a normal testicle. That is because it is not attached to a spermatic cord.

Unfortunately that is too often the case. One of the hallmarks of a UTI in an elderly person is change in mental status. The bacteria dehydrates the individual and the bacteria causes fever with chills, much like a viral illness and the older individual usually does not have much reserve to fight the infection. It is not an uncommon problem.
