I've been having trouble with urine getting stuck and not flowing properly, especially when sitting or lying down for long periods. Even when I feel the urge to go, it's hard to empty my bladder completely unless the stream is really strong. Doctors mentioned surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any treatments or surgical options that don't involve removing the prostate gland? What else can be done to help with this?

View allI'm a bit worried because my penis bends to the left when it's fully erect. It kinda seems like it affects its length. I'm not really keen on surgery, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to straighten it out.
A bent penis, also known as Peyronie's disease, can be addressed through non-surgical methods, including oral medications like vitamin E, potassium para-aminobenzoate (Potaba), and pentoxifylline; topical creams containing verapamil or interferon; and physical therapy techniques like penile traction therapy (PTT) using devices like the Penimaster or Vacu Devices, which can help straighten the penis and potentially improve length appearance, but consult a urologist or healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition.

I'm 28 and have been struggling with severe erection issues and low sperm count for the past 3 years. I had varicocele surgery on both testicles, but for the last year, there's been no movement in them. I also find it hard to start urinating, and the flow is very slow. My parents are looking for marriage proposals, and I'm really worried about my condition. Which specialist should I see for these problems?
