Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Had a circumcision 10 days back but still feeling numbness in my penis with no sensitivity. My urine flow is also weaker than usual. When can I expect normal sensation to return and will this affect my sex life later?

Accepted Answer

It's understandable to be concerned about the numbness and weaker urine flow after circumcision. Numbness is a common and temporary experience, and it can take time for sensitivity to fully return. Weaker urine flow could be due to swelling or inflammation, and in some cases, a tight bandage might be contributing to urinary retention

Question 3

I'm looking at my semen culture report, and it mentions a "scanty growth of periurethral contaminants" in the growth section. I'm a bit worrieddoes this mean I have some kind of infection? Could you help me understand what this might mean for my health?
