I've been diagnosed with venous leak and heard penile implants might be the only solution are there other treatments or methods to fix this without surgery? Really worried about going under the knife and looking for alternatives

I've been dealing with prostate swelling that causes pain when I pee and during sex. My urologist prescribed GeripodD tablets but the issue keeps coming back frequently. I can't hold my urine for long because of the pain. The swelling is only on the right side with no testicle enlargement. Is there any way to treat this without surgery or maybe through laparoscopic methods?

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