I'm having issues with both urination and ejaculation. My urine flow and the speed of ejaculation seem to be slower than usual, and I think this might be affecting our chances of conceiving. My doctor mentioned something about a urethral stricture and suggested surgery. I'm just really anxious about all this and looking for some guidance. Could you shed some light on what this means and if surgery is the only option?

My 73-year-old father has phimosis, and his urologist recommended circumcision mainly for hygiene and to prevent future infections. He's had diabetes for 26 years but it's well-controlled (HBA1C 6.6), and his BP is stable. The doctor suggested conventional surgery under local anesthesia but didn't mention laser surgery. I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of both methods conventional cutting vs laser especially for someone his age with diabetes. Which one would be safer or more recommended in his case?
