My dad's ultrasound shows his prostate is enlarged at 56x51x50 mm with a volume of 77.7 cc. The doctor suggested surgery, but I'm wondering if medication could work instead is the size too big for meds to help?

View allI've got some small cracks and cuts on my foreskin near the tip. Most of the time it doesn't hurt, but when I pull the skin back fully, those cuts start stinging for a day or so before settling down. The cuts seem to stay but the pain comes and goes. Should I be using some cream or is this something that might need surgery?
dermat opinion is advised.

I've just been told I have a small prostatic cyst that's about 6mm. Should I be worried about this? What's the typical treatment for something like this?
A 6mm prostatic cyst is generally considered small and may not be a cause for concern, as 5-8% of men have small prostatic cysts. However, it's essential to monitor it, as larger cysts can cause complications like urinary tract infections, hematuria, and voiding dysfunction. Treatment options vary depending on symptoms and cyst size. Small, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger or symptomatic cysts may need surgical excision, transurethral cyst catheterization, or other non-surgical interventions.
