View allmy penis hasn't grown since childhood and stays around 3 inches when erect is this normal or could there be an underlying issue are there any surgical options to address this
A penis length of around 3 inches when erect may suggest a condition called micropenis, which can have hormonal or developmental causes. It's important to consult an endocrinologist or urologist for proper evaluation. Surgical options like penile lengthening procedures exist but are considered only after medical assessment and counseling.

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'm kind of worried about my foreskin. It's become swollen and there are some cut-like marks on it. It's been like this for about a month now. Its difficult to move the foreskin back and there's a burning sensation when I touch the area. Could you suggest some medicine or what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal and anti-inflammatory cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg to help with the burning sensation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
