There is no cure for Overactive Bladder. But, there are effective ways to manage it. These include behavioral treatments, lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgery. OAB can happen for several reasons. Sometimes treating the underlying cause of your OAB can help your symptoms.

My father has been dealing with frequent urination and a burning sensation when he pees. We saw a doctor who recommended tests like Haemogram, CUE, PSA, HBA1C, and an ultrasound scan of the pelvis and abdomen. Everything looked fine except the PVR was 500ml. Now they've done a cystoscopy and are suggesting TURP surgery. Is this the right time to go for surgery, or should we wait and try more medications? Can this be managed with just medicines?

if conservative therapy fails ,TURP is advised.

I've noticed that one of my testicles, the right one specifically, seems to hang lower than it used to. I'm 21 and just had a full body check where everything seemed fine, and the doctor checked my testicles but didn't touch them, just took a good look. I hit the gym pretty regularly and wear tight shortsI'm wondering if that or the lifting might be affecting this. I also have another medical exam soon before I start work on a ship. Could this lower-hanging testicle be something I should worry about?

It's possible that lifting heavy weights or wearing tight shorts could cause some temporary changes in the position of your testicle, but if your doctor didn't find any issues during your last checkup, it likely isn't a cause for concern. However, if you notice persistent discomfort or other symptoms, it's a good idea to mention it during your next medical checkup before heading to the ship.

I recently got married and whenever I try to have sex with my wife, the skin on my penis hurts because it hasn't separated properly. I don't want to remove all the skin, just the top part that's attached to the penis. What would be the cost of that? What should I do, and if there's surgery required, how much would it cost?

It sounds like you may have a condition called **phimosis** or tight foreskin. A minor procedure like a **frenuloplasty** or partial circumcision can address this without removing the full skin. I recommend consulting a urologist for an evaluation. Costs can vary but are typically around 10,000-30,000 in most clinics, depending on the procedure and location.
