Can a penile fracture heal on its own or is surgery always necessary? I'm really worried and not sure what to do about this
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A penile fracture, which is a tear in the covering of the penis, is considered a urological emergency and usually requires surgery to avoid long-term complications. While some sources suggest immediate surgery, others acknowledge that it can be performed within 24-48 hours. Delaying surgery can increase the risk of complications

View allI have 12mm and 6.3mm stones in both kidneys and my doctor recommended surgery to drill the kidney. I'm only 27 and really scared about going through this is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I can try at my age
While percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), a surgery to drill the kidney, is a common option for larger kidney stones, it's not always the only treatment. Other options, like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and ureteroscopy, can be considered, especially for smaller stones or if PCNL carries a higher risk due to your age or other factors. Medical management and lifestyle changes can also be effective for some cases, particularly when the stones are smaller and less likely to cause complications

I'm a 16-year-old guy and I'm wondering if it's normal that I can't ejaculate yet. Is it common for someone my age? I'm kinda worried about it.

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.
