My dad has 3 gall bladder stones and an enlarged prostate at 73 cc. Is surgery absolutely necessary or can he manage with just medications for now? Really worried about his condition and want to understand the options better.

For a 73 cc enlarged prostate and gallstones, surgery might not be immediately necessary for either condition, but it depends on the severity of symptoms and individual factors. Medications can help manage symptoms of both, and watchful waiting might be an option for asymptomatic gallstones. Consulting with a doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan is crucial.

I've been having frequent urine problems and the doctor prescribed me pyridium, urispas, and alkacitral syrup. This is the third time I'm dealing with this issue. The doc mentioned my urine pipe is a bit shrunk and suggested surgery, but I really don't want to go through that. Are there any other options or treatments I can try instead of surgery?
