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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm dealing with phimosis where my foreskin won't retract. From what I've read, surgery seems like the only solution, but I'm wondering if homeopathy could help avoid that. Is phimosis actually a serious issue? I had no idea this was something men could even experience until now.

Hey, I've been hitting the gym and my trainer suggested I start using whey protein. But I'm kinda worried if it could mess with my libido or even cause erectile dysfunction. Is it really safe to go ahead with whey protein?
Whey protein is generally safe for most people and does not directly cause loss of libido or erectile dysfunction. However, excessive protein intake can sometimes affect hormone levels or kidney function in some individuals. It's best to use it in moderation, and if you have any concerns, consulting with a healthcare provider is always a good idea.
