It's not uncommon for people to experience temporary difficulty achieving an erection due to factors like stress, fatigue, or even performance anxiety. If this issue persists, it could be helpful to evaluate your overall physical and mental health, and consulting a healthcare provider might be beneficial for further guidance.

My dad has borderline prostatomegaly his ultrasound showed an enlarged prostate at 31x38x34 mm with a volume of 224cc but no focal lesions. He had TURP surgery back in 2009. Is TURP needed again or are there other treatment options we should consider?

For a case of borderline prostatomegaly, with a prostate volume of 224cc and a prior TURP, a repeat TURP may not be the first course of action. Other treatment options, like watchful waiting, medications, or even a different surgical procedure, should be considered. The best approach depends on the severity of symptoms and other factors
