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.

Found out I have a 7.44mm kidney stone in my left kidney but no pain or urine issues so far will I need surgery for this?

A 7.44mm kidney stone in your left kidney, even without current pain or urine issues, may not necessarily require surgery, but it's important to consult with a doctor. While smaller stones can pass on their own, larger ones like this one may be more likely to cause problems down the line
