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

Can I use coconut parachute oil as a lubricant for masturbation? Is it safe, or are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, are there any other oils that might be better?
Coconut oil, including parachute coconut oil, can be used as a lubricant, as it's generally safe for external use. However, it may cause irritation or disrupt the natural balance of vaginal flora for some people. It's important to test it on a small area of skin first, and if you experience discomfort, consider using a water-based lubricant specifically designed for intimate use.
