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've been having this pain in my penis for a couple of months now, especially when it gets erect. Its really concerning me. Does this sound like something serious? What could be causing pain inside my penis?
An erection normally occurs in response to physical or psychological stimulation. This stimulation causes certain blood vessels to relax and expand, increasing blood flow to spongy tissues in the penis. Consequently, the blood-filled penis becomes erect. After stimulation ends, the blood flows out, and the penis returns to its nonrigid (flaccid) state. Priapism occurs when some part of this system the blood, blood vessels or nerves changes normal blood flow, resulting in painful erections. Consult urologist for further evaluation...

I'm a bit worried about something and hoping you can help. Does masturbating too much cause any issues like varicocele? I'm also curious about other side effects of masturbation, especially if it can harm the testicles in any way.
Masturbating excessively does not directly cause varicocele, which is a condition where the veins inside the scrotum become enlarged. However, frequent masturbation can lead to temporary testicular pain or discomfort.

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've developed multiple cysts on my left epididymis again. They were removed about three years ago, but now I can feel them coming back, and one of them is quite big, around 3cm by 2cm. It's not really painful, but there's definitely some discomfort. Should I be worried about these recurring epididymal cysts, and what might be causing them to grow back?
