I've been having pain around my left lower back and was diagnosed with PUJ obstruction. The doctor suggested surgery, and I'm considering laparoscopic robotic surgery to minimize scarring. Can you tell me if this surgery is a good option for my condition and what I should expect?

My dad is 61 and was just diagnosed with bladder cancer I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Should we consider surgery or would chemo be a better option for him?

It's understandable to be worried when a loved one is diagnosed with cancer. The best approach for your dad's bladder cancer will depend on the specific stage, grade, and type of cancer, as well as his overall health. Both surgery and chemotherapy can be effective treatment options, and the choice will depend on a variety of factors that your doctor will discuss with you.

I'm a bit worried because I used to have random and morning erections, which I assumed were normal, but for the past month they've stopped completely. I also feel like my sex drive has really decreased. Is this something I should be concerned about, or could it be a normal phase?

It's not uncommon for sexual drive and erections to fluctuate due to factors like stress, lifestyle changes, or hormonal imbalances. However, if youve noticed a persistent decrease in libido and erectile function, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues like hormonal imbalances or other health conditions.

How many times should a person urinate per day?

Most people urinate between six and eight times a day. But if you're drinking plenty, it's not abnormal to go as many as 10 times a day.
