My dad had prostate surgery 3 years ago but still has urinary retention issues and has been dealing with prostate problems for like 20 years. The doctor just put in a urine drainage bag. Is this normal after so many years of prostate issues or should we be worried about something else going on?

Yes, long-standing prostate issues can lead to bladder damage and retention even after surgery. A urologist may assess for bladder dysfunction or urethral narrowing with urodynamic studies.

I've been considering taking sildenafil zenegra 100mg every day and I'm wondering if it could change the consistency of my sperm. Will it become more watery instead of its usual creamy and thick texture?
Using sildenafil (Zenegra) daily doesn't directly affect the consistency of sperm, which is typically creamy and thick. However, some men may experience changes in semen volume or appearance as a side effect, but it's not a common or expected outcome. If you're concerned, it's best to discuss this with your doctor for personalized advice.

I'm a 30-year-old guy, and my family doctor recently mentioned HIMCOLIN GEL to me because I sometimes struggle to keep an erection during sex. I'm wondering how regularly I can use it without any issues. Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
Himcolin gel can be applied about 30 minutes before intercourse as needed, but avoid using it more than once daily. It is generally safe, but some may experience mild skin irritation or burning. If discomfort persists or worsens, stop use and consult your doctor.
