I'm 58 and considering laser surgery for prostatitis and an enlarged prostate but I'm worried if it could raise my risk of prostate cancer later on. Does this type of treatment have any link to developing cancer in the prostate?

View allMy father was just diagnosed with prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 34. One doctor recommended hormone therapy, but from what I've read, robotic surgery seems like a better option since hormone therapy isn't a full cure. I'm really confused about what treatment would be best for him can you help explain the pros and cons of each?
Hormone therapy can control prostate cancer but is not curative; robotic surgery may remove cancer but depends on age, stage, and fitness—both have pros and cons.

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed my foreskin feels rough after some intense sexual activity over the past few days. There's also slight redness and what looks like a bruise on the back of the foreskin. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to help it heal?
The rough penis foreskin and slight rednessbruise after rough sexual activity may indicate friction burns, irritation, or minor trauma; apply topical antibiotic ointment, take warm baths, and avoid further irritation or sexual activity for a few days to allow healing; if symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by increased redness, swelling, or discharge, consult a urologis

I've had a tilted penis since I was a kid, bending downwards and to the left kind of like a banana. Everything else like length and width, especially during an erection, seems normal and there's no pain. I read online about Peyronie's disease, but I don't think that's what I have since it's been this way since childhood and it's painless. The bend makes it difficult to penetrate during sex. Are there any proven treatments, invasive or non-invasive, that could help with this? Is it possible for me to have a regular straight penis?
Thats usually normal amd many individuals will be having the same,for your concern vist urologist for appropriate approach
