I've been dealing with orchitis in my right testis for the past 8 months and nothing seems to help. Some doctors say it's orchitis, but my test reports suggest TB orchitis. I've been on TB meds for 7 months with no improvement. One senior doctor recommended surgery but I'm hesitant. The pain is constant any advice on what else I can try?

View allMy 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?
if conservative therapy fails ,TURP is advised.

I've noticed something strange lately. My foreskin and penis were just fine before, the foreskin used to roll back without any issuesno tightness or pain. After a day of heavy masturbation, the foreskin suddenly became really tight and doesn't roll back as easily as it used to. If I try to force it back, it feels like an elastic band is squeezing my penis. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it?
It seems you're experiencing a condition known as: *Phimosis* or foreskin tightness. This can be caused by: - *Over-manipulation*: Excessive masturbation or forceful retraction of the foreskin. - *Inflammation*: Irritation or infection can lead to scarring and tightening of the foreskin. Symptoms: - Difficulty retracting the foreskin - Pain or discomfort during retraction - Tightness or constriction of the penis To alleviate symptoms: 1. *Stop forceful retraction*: Avoid pulling back the foreskin forcefully. 2. *Apply topical creams*: Use topical corticosteroid creams to reduce inflammation. 3. *Practice gentle hygiene*: Clean the area gently with mild soap and water.

My foreskin won't pull back over the head of my penis and I think it might be phimosis. Are there other treatment options besides circumcision? Can I try using a steroid cream first before considering surgery?
circumcision is advised.
