I'm worried about whether I might have Frenulum breve. I can't fully retract my foreskin when my penis is erect, but I can do it when it's semi-erect or flaccid. Is that enough reason to think I have this condition?

-Frenulum breve is when the frenulum (the band under the penis head) is too short, limiting foreskin retraction, especially during an erection. If you can retract it only on a flaccid or semi-erect penis, it could be a sign, but it's best to consult a doc

My DPTA scan showed my right kidney is mildly enlarged and hydronephrotic but has good cortical function and passive pelvic stasis without significant obstruction. Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed without an operation?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer with a biopsy score of 4410 but his bone scan came back negative. Can this be treated with just medications or does he need surgery?

A Gleason score of 4+4=8 is considered high-grade prostate cancer, indicating a higher risk of aggressive growth and potential spread. A negative bone scan suggests the cancer hasn't yet spread to the bones. While medication (hormone therapy) can be effective for advanced prostate cancer, surgery (radical prostatectomy) is a primary treatment option for localized prostate cancer. The best approach for your dad will depend on his specific situation, including the extent of the cancer within the prostate and his overall health.
