My dad has borderline prostatomegaly his ultrasound showed an enlarged prostate at 31x38x34 mm with a volume of 224cc but no focal lesions. He had TURP surgery back in 2009. Is TURP needed again or are there other treatment options we should consider?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a case of borderline prostatomegaly, with a prostate volume of 224cc and a prior TURP, a repeat TURP may not be the first course of action. Other treatment options, like watchful waiting, medications, or even a different surgical procedure, should be considered. The best approach depends on the severity of symptoms and other factors

View allI'm really worried because my girlfriend says she wants me to have a 10-inch penis, but currently, it's only 5 inches. I'm concerned about her breaking up with me over this. Is there anything I can do to make it larger? Are there safe methods or treatments to consider? What are my options here?
It's important to focus on healthy communication and mutual respect in your relationship. Penis size does not determine the success of a relationship, and it's essential to address any concerns openly with your partner. If you're feeling stressed or uncertain, speaking with a healthcare professional or counselor could provide helpful guidance.

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I'm having a bit of a situation. My foreskin doesn't seem to retract on its own when I'm erect, and I can't really pull it back manually either because it's too tight. I can pull it back fine when I'm not erect though. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?
It sounds like you have phimosis, which is a common condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully during an erection. Regular gentle stretching exercises with a steroid cream prescribed by a doctor can help, but if it persists, consult a urologist to discuss further options like a minor surgical procedure (circumcision or preputioplasty).

Ever since the past 10 years, I've been masturbating two or three times a day. But recently, I've noticed that my penis isn't getting hard while I do it. I hardly have sex, maybe once or twice a year, and even then, I don't ejaculate. Now I'm really worried because it's becoming a problemnot just the erectile issue, but also hair loss. I feel like everything's falling apart, and I've even started having suicidal thoughts. I'm too embarrassed to talk to anyone about it. Can you suggest what I should do?
Im so sorry youre feeling this wayits important to know this can be treated. Erectile issues and hair loss might stem from stress, hormonal imbalances, or over-masturbation. Please see a doctor to check your testosterone and mental health; you're not alone, and help is available.
