I've been having trouble with urine getting stuck and not flowing properly, especially when sitting or lying down for long periods. Even when I feel the urge to go, it's hard to empty my bladder completely unless the stream is really strong. Doctors mentioned surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any treatments or surgical options that don't involve removing the prostate gland? What else can be done to help with this?

I would need some more details to get a clear idea of what you are going through

My foreskin is really tight and won't pull back, causing pain and even cracks near the tip. My family doctor suggested circumcision, but I'm not sure which hospital or doctor in Chennai is the best for this. Also, I have medical insurance will they accept it for this procedure?

Tight foreskin with pain usually needs circumcision; check with urology hospitals in Chennai that accept your insurance.
