I've been diagnosed with prostatomegaly with intravesical extension and have really poor urine flow, even had retention. My doctor recommended TURP surgery, but I'm not sure if it's the best option should I get a second opinion? What are the alternatives or risks with this procedure?

I found out I have a 7x6mm epididymal cyst in my left testicle. Is there any way to treat this completely without surgery? I'm really hoping for a solution that can cure it for good.

I'm curious about oral activities and I'm wondering if it's safe. Can you catch any diseases from doing it? If there are risks, how can someone do it safely? If not, is it okay to keep doing it?

Oral-genital contact can carry the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as herpes, gonorrhea, or HPV. It's important to practice good hygiene, use protection like dental dams, and ensure both partners are free of infections for safety. If you're unsure, it's best to discuss this with a healthcare provider.
