I've been having frequent urine problems and the doctor prescribed me pyridium, urispas, and alkacitral syrup. This is the third time I'm dealing with this issue. The doc mentioned my urine pipe is a bit shrunk and suggested surgery, but I really don't want to go through that. Are there any other options or treatments I can try instead of surgery?

Hey, so my dad's testicles started bleeding even though he didn't get hurt or anything. We noticed his blood pressure was really high at 19090 mmHg when we went for first aid. They said a vein might have burst, causing the bleeding. Could his high blood pressure be the reason for this? Also, what should we do next? Should we go see a doctor straight away or anything else we need to consider?
Yes, high blood pressure (19090 mmHg) can cause a varicocele (enlarged vein) to rupture, leading to testicular bleeding; immediate medical attention is crucial to rule out other potential causes, such as testicular torsion or tumor, and to prevent further complications.
