My 73-year-old father has phimosis, and his urologist recommended circumcision mainly for hygiene and to prevent future infections. He's had diabetes for 26 years but it's well-controlled (HBA1C 6.6), and his BP is stable. The doctor suggested conventional surgery under local anesthesia but didn't mention laser surgery. I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of both methods conventional cutting vs laser especially for someone his age with diabetes. Which one would be safer or more recommended in his case?

View allI've had a slow urine flow since childhood and was recently diagnosed with bladder outlet obstruction or high bladder neck. The doctor said surgery isn't suitable for my age right now. Are there any permanent homeopathy treatments or safe medicines that can improve urine flow without harming my kidneys?
A bladder neck obstruction may occur at birth due to connective tissue or muscle issues. This can cause a severe obstruction of the upper urinary tract and can lead to kidney malfunction, which can sometimes be fatal Homeopathy may offer some relief for the symptoms of bladder outlet syndrome (BOO), but it is not a cure for the underlying condition. While homeopathy can be helpful in managing symptoms like frequent urination and discomfort associated with bladder infections (cystitis), it cannot address the physical blockage or structural issues causing BOO

I'm having some trouble with my erection and I'm worried. When I take Megalis, it seems to help a bit, but I'm noticing the glans of my penis isn't getting as hard as the rest. I'm really looking for a permanent fix for this. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with erectile function beyond just the physical erection of the penis. While Megalis can help with erectile strength, persistent issues with the glans may indicate a need for further evaluation. I recommend consulting a urologist to rule out any underlying conditions and explore more targeted treatment options.
