My 80-year-old grandfather has prostate enlargement and the doctor recommended testicle removal surgery but he also has prostate cancer is this surgery safe for him given his condition?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Testicle removal surgery (orchiectomy) is a form of hormone therapy for prostate cancer and can be used to manage prostate enlargement, but it's not a common treatment for prostate cancer alone. The decision of whether to proceed with the surgery needs to be made based on individual factors, including the severity of prostate enlargement, the stage and aggressiveness of prostate cancer, and the patient's overall health and life expectancy

View allI'm really worried because the foreskin on my penis feels super tight. It can move down when my penis isn't erect, but once I get an erection, it just won't retract. When I try to push it back, it feels like it's going to tear because it can't stretch any more. I even tried pulling it down when not erect and then getting an erection with the foreskin already down, but it resulted in pain. What if this condition persists until I'm ready to have sex? Can you guide me on what to do?
Circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare provider. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed, and it is often an effective treatment for severe cases of phimosis. It is important to address this issue before engaging in sexual activity to prevent any potential pain or complications. If you have persistent concerns or the condition does not improve with conservative measures, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious about how masturbation might be affecting my body. Does it lead to any health issues, and if so, what kind of effects should I be aware of? I'm also worried about how it might impact my sexual life in the future. Could it affect my sperm count or create problems with intercourse or trying to conceive a child later on?

I'm really worried about my health because of my past habits, and I need some advice. I've noticed that after years of excessive masturbation, things are starting to change for the worse now that I'm 21. I used to do it up to 34 times a day, and it has left me with some concerning issues. My nerves feel really weak, my penis bends to the left, and I can't seem to remember things as well as I used to. I also experience muscular pain and sometimes gastritis, and my mindset isn't great either; the fear of dying is always hovering over me. Blood circulation doesn't seem right, and I've got low sperm and hemoglobin counts. On top of that, I keep having wet dreams way too frequently. I really want to regain my vitality, vigor, and overall strength. Can you give me some guidance on how to turn these things around?
It sounds like youre going through a challenging time, but the good news is that many of your concerns can improve with lifestyle changes. Focus on healthy habits like balanced nutrition, regular exercise, staying hydrated, and practicing relaxation techniques. Consider speaking to a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions and get personalized guidance on managing stress and improving your overall health. Remember, recovery is possible with time and effort.
