How much does prostate surgery cost under CGHS rates and do I need to get permission from a government hospital before going ahead with the procedure
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Prostate surgery costs under CGHS (Central Government Health Scheme) vary depending on the type of surgery and hospital. You do need to get a referral from a government hospital before proceeding with the surgery, although the process is simplified for CGHS beneficiaries. Cost:
Holmium YAG Prostate surgery: Approximately Rs 65,000 (for NABH hospitals). High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) (Robotic): Around Rs 220,000 for carcinoma prostate. Other Procedures: Costs for other types of prostate surgery (e.g., optical internal urethrotomy, core through, stone lithotripsy, bladder tumor) are also listed within the CGHS rate list

View allI'm considering adult circumcision because I have a tight foreskin issue and might need surgery. What are the actual benefits of getting circumcised? I've heard it can reduce sexual pleasure is that true? Could you explain the pros and cons? Also, what's the typical cost for this procedure?
Circumcision changes how someone's penis looks and may lower their risk of diseases such as cancer of the penis, HIV, and HPV.it has no effect on your sexual function or fertility.

I've had tight foreskin since I was a kid and thought it would loosen over time if I kept pulling it back, but now I'm 25 and it's still really tight. There's only about a 34mm opening to pee through, and I get this white stuff building up that causes itching. I'm worried surgery might remove the whole foreskin are there other options that can fix this without taking it all off?
Yes, there are non-surgical options to address phimosis (tight foreskin) in addition to circumcision. You can try stretching exercises, using topical steroid creams, and practicing good hygiene to potentially loosen the foreskin and alleviate the symptoms you've described. If those methods are not effective, there are also surgical options that can address the problem without necessarily removing the entire foreskin
