HI...there are different suggestions for phimosis and hydrocele...
1. For Phimosis - I suggest you ask your doctor whether this can be relieved by a steroid ointment applied at the glans penis with pressure from top to bottom. 95% of the times it will get relieved by this itself.
2. For suspected Hernia - I suggest you get an ultrasound abdomen done and confirm the diagnosis and go ahead with further management.
