Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For an enlarged prostate of 126cc, surgery is a common and often necessary option, but it's not always the only option. Other treatments, including medications and minimally invasive procedures, are also available and may be suitable depending on individual circumstances and symptoms.

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've got some worries about my penis size. I'm around 5.4 feet tall and weigh 74 kg. My size is about 5.3 to 5.4 inches, and I just don't feel okay with it. Is there anything I can do to increase it? What's the best way to go about this?
It's important to know that there are no medications or treatments that have been scientifically proven to permanently increase penis size. However, there are surgical options available such as penile implants or injections, but these come with risks and are usually reserved for individuals with medical conditions affecting the penis. For non-surgical options, you can try penile exercises such as jelqing or stretching exercises, but it's important to be cautious as these may cause injury if not done correctly. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol intake can help improve overall sexual health. It's important to remember that penis size does not determine sexual satisfaction, and communication with your partner is key. If you have further concerns, I recommend speaking with a urologist for personalized advice and guidance.

I have a 13.49 mm stone in my right upper ureter, about 2 cm from the pelvic ureteric junction, and it's causing grade 1 hydronephrosis. I'm trying to figure out the best surgery option should I go for ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy or PCNL? What would you recommend based on the size and location of the stone?
For your 13.49 mm stone in the upper ureter, near the pelvic ureteric junction, causing grade 1 hydronephrosis, ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy (URSL) is generally recommended over PCNL. URSL is a minimally invasive procedure that allows for targeted stone fragmentation and removal through the ureter. PCNL, while effective, is more invasive and carries a higher risk of complications.
