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'm getting really worried because lately my penis isn't getting hard, even when I'm watching porn. I can still ejaculate, but it's just not hard at all. Any idea why this might be happening? I'm really scared.

This could be due to stress, fatigue, hormonal changes, or even excessive porn consumption leading to desensitization. Psychological factors like anxiety or physical issues like poor blood flow may also contribute. It's important to stay calm and consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and guidance.

My penis curves to the left at about a 45-degree angle can medicines help straighten it without needing surgery? I'm really worried about this and want to avoid surgery if possible. What options do I have?

If your penis curves to the left at a 45-degree angle, and you want to avoid surgery, you have several nonsurgical treatment options, including medications and devices. Medications like collagenase and verapamil, when injected into the penis, can help break down scar tissue and improve the curve. Traction devices, like vacuum erection devices or penile traction devices, can also help straighten the penis over time by gently stretching it.
