My dad's been dealing with this borderline prostatomegaly thing, and his ultrasound shows the prostate's borderline enlarged at 31x38x34mm and the volume's up to 224cc. There's no sign of any focal lesions, but I'm really worried. Is it necessary to go through another TURP surgery? Last time he had one was back in 2009. What's your take on this?

For borderline prostatomegaly with a prostate volume of 24cc, treatment options include watchful waiting, medications like alpha-blockers (e.g., tamsulosin) or 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (e.g., finasteride), and lifestyle changes; TURP surgery may not be immediately necessary, especially since your father had it in 2009, but it's essential to consult a urologist for personalized advice and to monitor prostate health.

Sure, I've been feeling a bit concerned about my sex life recently. You see, I've been taking Lithium and Thyroid medication for years, and I'm wondering if my issues with ED and the anxiety that comes with it are linked to the meds or maybe something like low testosterone levels? I have bipolar disorder, and I'm generally quite active sexually, even though work and having a young child have put sex lower on the list. Both my spouse and I miss the frequency and intensity we used to have when we first got married, and it's becoming a point of tension. Any advice on how to improve things?

I've noticed that my penis size seems to have shrunk from 6 inches to about 5 inches, and I'm really concerned. I've gained around 7 kgs recently, and I also drink a few times a week. I quit smoking regularly about two months ago but used to smoke a lot before. Could these changes be affecting my size and stamina? What kind of diet or lifestyle changes should I consider to maybe get back to my original size and boost my stamina?

Hey, I've got a situation where there's a lot of foreskin at the tip of my penis, and I'm finding it tough to retract it fully. It's really bothering me and I kinda want to be able to pull it back easily. Any advice on what I can do about this?

Circumcision may be necessary to remove the excess foreskin. It is important to consult with a urologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
