I have extra foreskin that completely covers my penis when it's normal. I saw someone with phimosis, but unlike them, I don't have any pain. I can pull the skin back almost 90%, but 10% doesn't stretch easily. I've always used condoms without any issues. Do I need to do anything about this, or is surgery the only option?

My dad's PSA level is 8.62 and his prostate weighs 65 grams. The MRI shows BPH but everything else looks normal. Should he consider surgery or can this be managed with medication?
A PSA level of 8.62, combined with a 65-gram prostate and a BPH diagnosis from an MRI, suggests that medication may be a good first approach, but surgery could be considered if symptoms are bothersome or if medication is not effective, according to the Cleveland Clinic and the Mayo Clinic. A biopsy is not automatically indicated with these findings, but your doctor will likely discuss this further with you based on the MRI results and your father's symptoms.
