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

Found a 6mm stone at the UV junction in my left kidney should I consider surgery or can medication take care of it? Worried about the best approach to treat this
A 6mm kidney stone at the UV junction may be managed with medication or surgery, depending on the specific situation and your individual circumstances. Medication, such as Tamsulosin, can help relax the ureter and facilitate stone passage. If the stone is causing significant pain or obstruction, or if medical management fails, surgical options like lithotripsy or ureteroscopy may be considered
