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
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been dealing with what's probably jock itch and I've been sexually active while this was happening and even masturbated. Now there's this swelling on my penis, like half an inch down from the head, forming a ring about the same width around it. I'm circumcised, but there's also a lot of swelling at the bottom of the head, particularly on the foreskin underneath. I'm really worried about all this and I am wondering what the problem could be and how to handle it as soon as possible.

I have an 8.33 mm kidney stone stuck in my ureter about 7 cm from the bladder. Is there a chance it can pass on its own or will I need surgery? I'm currently taking Elements Uri flush syrup but not sure if it's enough to help
An 8.33 mm kidney stone stuck in the ureter, 7 cm from the bladder, has a lower chance of passing naturally, but it's not impossible. While the Urology Associates of Central Missouri indicates that stones larger than 6 mm rarely pass on their own, the precise location and other factors can influence the outcome. Your current use of Elements Uri flush syrup may help, but it's crucial to consult a urologist for personalized advice and potential treatment options.
