A member asked:

Is my hydrocele affecting my penis size? i feel like it's holding my penis up, and by having it removed+out of the way, gravity could add length to it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably right: A big hydrocele can get in the way during romantic love in any case. Treatment is easy. Go for it.
