View allI'm concerned because when my penis becomes erect, it bends downward, and it's about 5 inches in size. I'm really curious if there's a way to make it straighter and maybe even increase the size. Can you help with this?
It's common for the penis to have a slight bend during an erection, and this often doesn't require treatment unless it causes discomfort or affects sexual function. If you're concerned about the bend or size, consider consulting a urologist to rule out any underlying conditions like Peyronie's disease and explore safe options for treatment. As for size, non-surgical methods are limited, and a healthcare professional can guide you on realistic expectations and options.

I'm a 32-year-old male dealing with hydrocele and looking for a doctor near Thane. Can you tell me how long the surgery takes, what the cost might be, and if there are any other treatment options besides surgery?
For adult males, hydroceles often go away on their own within six months. A hydrocele requires treatment only if it gets large enough to cause discomfort or disfigurement. Then it might need to be surgically removed... The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis during general or regional anesthesia..No other treatment are as effective as surgery..Consult Surgeon for further advice...

My dad is 76 and has had prostate urine problems for 2 months. The doctor said his prostate is enlarged to 50cc but his PSA levels are normal. He's not ready for surgery because he's stressed about it. What medicines can help shrink his prostate size or are there other options we should consider
For a 76-year-old with an enlarged prostate (50cc) and normal PSA, medical management is a good first step. Alpha-blockers like tamsulosin can help relieve urinary symptoms, and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride may help reduce prostate size over time. Minimally invasive procedures are also an option if medication fails and surgery is not preferred.
