My dad's PSA level is 8.62 and his prostate weighs 65 grams. The MRI shows BPH but everything else looks normal. Should he consider surgery or can this be managed with medication?
A PSA level of 8.62, combined with a 65-gram prostate and a BPH diagnosis from an MRI, suggests that medication may be a good first approach, but surgery could be considered if symptoms are bothersome or if medication is not effective, according to the Cleveland Clinic and the Mayo Clinic. A biopsy is not automatically indicated with these findings, but your doctor will likely discuss this further with you based on the MRI results and your father's symptoms.

I'm really worried about something that's been happening and I hope you can help me out. I had protected sex a while back and noticed the condom had slipped a bit. A few days later, I found small bumps on my penis and went to a dermatologist who said it's molluscum contagiosum. They suggested I get a blood test after six weeks to check for things like HIV. I did the tests and thankfully they all came back non-reactive. I've been using the imiquad solution and the bumps seem to be shrinking, which is a relief, but now I'm dealing with penile discharge whenever I pass stool. Do you know what might be causing this or what I should do?
Its good to hear that your molluscum is improving with treatment. However, penile discharge during bowel movements may indicate an underlying issue, such as urethritis or infection. It would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to rule out any additional concerns.
