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've been dealing with this ongoing issue where the foreskin on my penis gets really tender and then cracks. This seems to happen quite oftenit heals and then just cracks again. I'm getting a bit worried about it. What could be causing this, and how can I prevent it from continuing?
You may be experiencing a condition called balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2 weeks to treat any possible fungal infection. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding harsh soaps or irritants can help prevent further cracking. If the symptoms persist, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've got a penis that's 6 inches in length, and I'm curious if this is enough to satisfy a partner. Also, is there any chance it can grow more since I'm already past 20?
A 6-inch penis length is within the average range, and it is generally considered sufficient for sexual satisfaction. After 20 years of age, significant natural growth is unlikely, as most growth occurs during puberty. Satisfaction in sexual relationships is more about emotional connection and communication than size.

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?
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
