My dad is 61 and was just diagnosed with bladder cancer I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Should we consider surgery or would chemo be a better option for him?

It's understandable to be worried when a loved one is diagnosed with cancer. The best approach for your dad's bladder cancer will depend on the specific stage, grade, and type of cancer, as well as his overall health. Both surgery and chemotherapy can be effective treatment options, and the choice will depend on a variety of factors that your doctor will discuss with you.

I'm really concerned because it's been two years since I've had morning erections. I can't figure out what's causing this. Can you help me understand what's happening?

It's understandable to feel concerned, but morning erections can vary for many reasons, including stress, lifestyle changes, or underlying health conditions like hormonal imbalances or blood circulation issues.

I'm really worried about my penis size, it's only 2cm when soft and 5cm when erect. I'm concerned this might affect my ability to satisfy my partner. Is there any way to increase my size?

There are no medications or treatments that have been proven to significantly increase penis size. It's important to remember that penis size does not determine one's ability to satisfy a partner. Communication, emotional connection, and sexual techniques are often more important factors in sexual satisfaction. If you have concerns about your penis size or sexual performance, consider talking to a therapist or counselor who specializes in sexual health.
