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.

View allI'm experiencing a sharp pain on the lower left side of my chest whenever I hold my urine for a long time. I have a history of gastritis and kidney stones, and I'm also dealing with frequent urination and sneezing. Could there be a connection between these issues? I'm a bit worried.
The sharp pain on the lower left side of your chest could be related to muscle strain from holding urine or referred pain from your kidney stones. Given your history of gastritis, it's also possible that acid reflux or digestive issues could contribute. It would be best to consult a doctor to rule out any serious concerns and discuss your symptoms in detail.

A urologist diagnosed me with category 1 phimosis and recommended surgery, but I've heard homeopathic treatment might work instead. Is there any non-surgical treatment available for this? I'm worried about going under the knife if there are other options.
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

If you have cysts in your scrotum and aren't sure if they are sebaceous or epidermoid, it's best to consult a doctor or urologist for diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Many scrotal cysts are harmless and don't need treatment, but some may require removal, especially if they become painful, large, or infected.
