I've been experiencing this weird sensation where it feels like my urine is getting stuck in my urethra. My bladder thickness came out normal in tests, and I had a prevoid volume of 584ml and postvoid of 44ml. The prostate is supposed to be normal at 20.4 grams, but I have noticed there's less pressure when I try to pee in the morning. This has been going on for about 67 years, and even when I had it checked earlier, the doctor said everything seemed fine. He even applied pressure inside my anus, and some liquid came out of my penis, but tests showed no infection. I'm just confused about what's happening. Could you help me understand what might be causing this?

It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms of urinary retention or discomfort, which can sometimes occur without any underlying infection or structural issue, as your previous exams showed normal results. If the sensation persists or worsens, it might be helpful to follow up with a urologist for further evaluation to rule out any other causes, such as pelvic floor dysfunction or nerve issues.

I have a 9mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really nervous about the risks. Is it safe to go through with the operation or are there other options I should consider first? I don't feel great about getting cut open

I've been taking steroids as a professional bodybuilder, but lately I noticed some changes in my left testicle it feels like there are extra veins or something. I looked it up and think it might be testicular varicocele, but I'm not sure. Could the steroids be causing this? Doctors always warn against steroids, but it's part of my job, so I can't stop. I know the risks, but this issue has me worried. Does varicocele need surgery, or can it heal on its own?

Get an Ultrasound and Doppler study of scrotum. Steroid has nothing to do with varicocele but it is possible due to heavy weight lifting. Please clarify what steroid you are taking. If corticosteroid like dexona, betnesol stop it gradually over many months. If testosterone or other anabolic steroid you can maintain these provided considering risk of infertility.
