I've been taking ashwagandha from an organic brand and I've noticed that I'm needing to pee really frequently, and this has been going on for the last year and a half. Can you suggest any solutions for this? I'm getting a bit worried about it.

This could be due to the diuretic effect of ashwagandha. I recommend stopping the ashwagandha supplement and consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

My dad is 76 and has had prostate urine problems for 2 months. The doctor said his prostate is enlarged to 50cc but his PSA levels are normal. He's not ready for surgery because he's stressed about it. What medicines can help shrink his prostate size or are there other options we should consider

For a 76-year-old with an enlarged prostate (50cc) and normal PSA, medical management is a good first step. Alpha-blockers like tamsulosin can help relieve urinary symptoms, and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride may help reduce prostate size over time. Minimally invasive procedures are also an option if medication fails and surgery is not preferred.

I've been feeling really anxious lately because after masturbating a few days back, my penis and testicles suddenly felt numb the next day. I went to see a doctor, and they checked everything and said there's no issue, but I'm still worried because it feels like my testes are kind of lifeless. Can someone tell me what might be going on?

it is a urinary track infection
