My dad was diagnosed with grade 1 prostatomegaly and his prostate size is 37cc. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure if it's really necessary at this stage. Could we explore other options or wait and watch first? Just looking for a second opinion on whether surgery is the best route right now

Grade 1 prostatomegaly can be monitored—meds like tamsulosin help; surgery is rarely needed early on.

Can I make my penis longer and thicker with surgery and how much would it cost if it's possible

Yes, penile enlargement surgery is a possibility to increase both length and girth, but it's important to understand that it's often considered a cosmetic procedure and not a medical necessity. The cost can vary greatly, depending on the specific procedure, the surgeon's experience, and location, but it can range from tens of thousands of Rupees to hundreds of thousands of Rupees.

I've been having this itching sensation inside my penis, and it's making me feel like I constantly need to pee. It gets worse after sex, and I feel some pressure too when I'm trying to urinate. Any idea what's going on?

Is it normal to have no bacteria present if there's a history of urine infections? I've had kidney stones last year and have had urine infections 2 or 3 times. Should I be worried or is this within the normal range?

Based on your history of recurrent urine infections and a kidney stone last year, it is important to monitor your urine parameters closely. A normal urine test should not show any bacteria present. To prevent further infections, you can consider taking cranberry supplements or D-mannose powder to help maintain urinary tract health. Additionally, you can ask your doctor about prescribing you with a low-dose antibiotic such as Nitrofurantoin to take after intercourse or as a prophylactic treatment. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your kidney health and prevent future complications.
