View all3 months and 15 days ago I had hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh but now I have pain in the circular area is this normal or could there be a problem
It's possible that the pain you're experiencing is normal post-surgery, but it's crucial to consult with your doctor to rule out any complications. While some pain is expected after hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh, it should typically decrease over time. If the pain persists or worsens, especially in a circular area, it could indicate a problem like nerve damage, inflammation, or even mesh-related issues

My dad's been dealing with this borderline prostatomegaly thing, and his ultrasound shows the prostate's borderline enlarged at 31x38x34mm and the volume's up to 224cc. There's no sign of any focal lesions, but I'm really worried. Is it necessary to go through another TURP surgery? Last time he had one was back in 2009. What's your take on this?
For borderline prostatomegaly with a prostate volume of 24cc, treatment options include watchful waiting, medications like alpha-blockers (e.g., tamsulosin) or 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (e.g., finasteride), and lifestyle changes; TURP surgery may not be immediately necessary, especially since your father had it in 2009, but it's essential to consult a urologist for personalized advice and to monitor prostate health.

I'm 33 and dealing with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. I have urethra pain, a weak urine stream, incontinence, and feel like my bladder never fully empties. I've been taking Tab Alfoo and Urotone for 20 days but barely see any improvement. Is surgery the only way to treat BPH? How can I manage this long-term without stressing too much about it?
While you're young for BPH, it's not unusual to experience its symptoms. Surgery isn't the only treatment option, and there are ways to manage it long-term without excessive stress. Medications, lifestyle adjustments, and proactive monitoring can significantly improve your quality of life
