My dad was diagnosed with a narrowed urethra and has pain while urinating. He's on medication but the pain comes back when he stops it. The doctor recommended surgery what are the possible side effects of this procedure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Possible side effects of urethral stricture surgery include complications like infection, bleeding, difficulty urinating, and recurrence of the stricture, as well as potential nerve damage leading to erectile dysfunction or pain. These risks should be discussed with the doctor to determine if surgery is the best course of treatment for your father

View allI'm having trouble pulling back the foreskin on my penis, and it's causing a really uncomfortable tightness at the tip during full erections and when trying to insert. On top of that, I'm dealing with premature ejaculation. Should I be seeing a urologist for this, or is a general surgeon the better option? Also, is there a connection between this issue with my foreskin, phimosis I think it's called, and premature ejaculation?
You should consult a urologist, as they specialize in genital and urinary tract issues, including phimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin) and premature ejaculation (PE); while phimosis and PE can coexist, they are not directly related, but treating phimosis through circumcision, preputioplasty, or frenuloplasty may help alleviate discomfort and tightness, which could indirectly improve PE symptoms, and a urologist can assess and address both concerns.

I'm dealing with erectile dysfunction and it's really confusing because sometimes everything works fine but other times it doesn't. I'm not sure if there's something specific triggering it or if it's just random. What could be causing this, and is there any advice you could give me to help improve the situation?

I'm dealing with a bit of an issue. I masturbate every day, and sometimes my penis gets really dry, especially after going at it continuously. After I ejaculate, it becomes quite painful, almost unbearable for a moment, and occasionally I notice some urine leakage. The pain doesn't last long, but it's pretty intense, and my penis feels numb afterward. It just doesn't feel right. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
