Question 1

My father has been dealing with frequent urination and a burning sensation when he pees. We saw a doctor who recommended tests like Haemogram, CUE, PSA, HBA1C, and an ultrasound scan of the pelvis and abdomen. Everything looked fine except the PVR was 500ml. Now they've done a cystoscopy and are suggesting TURP surgery. Is this the right time to go for surgery, or should we wait and try more medications? Can this be managed with just medicines?

Accepted Answer

if conservative therapy fails ,TURP is advised.

Question 2

I have phimosis and need to get circumcision surgery but I'm worried about the cost. Can you tell me how much it usually costs and if there are any factors that might make it more expensive?

Accepted Answer

circumcision is advised.

Question 3

I'm really worried because I've been having issues with frequent urination and my testes are really painful. I recently had some urine culture tests done, and they came back negative. Could it still be possible that I have chlamydia, even though the test didn't show anything? I'm trying to understand what else could be causing these symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible to have chlamydia even if your urine culture test is negative. Chlamydia is often diagnosed through a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) or a DNA probe test rather than a urine culture. Since you are experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination and testicular pain, it is advisable to get tested specifically for chlamydia using a NAAT or DNA probe test. If diagnosed with chlamydia, the treatment involves a course of antibiotics such as Azithromycin or Doxycycline, as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I'm really concerned after my recent sonography results showed Caliectasis in the upper pole of my left kidney. Also, my urine culture revealed a Pseudomonas infection. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be worried? What steps should I take next?
