My father has been dealing with frequent urination and a burning sensation when he pees. We saw a doctor who recommended tests like Haemogram, CUE, PSA, HBA1C, and an ultrasound scan of the pelvis and abdomen. Everything looked fine except the PVR was 500ml. Now they've done a cystoscopy and are suggesting TURP surgery. Is this the right time to go for surgery, or should we wait and try more medications? Can this be managed with just medicines?

I've been having some problems and I'm really worried. I can't feel any pleasure from my penis. It's like my foreskin doesn't even register touch, and instead of feeling good, my glans hurts when I touch it. Plus, when I rub it, I get this weird nerve twitch in my groin. Does this mean I could have neuropathy? There's no pleasure with or without lube, and even though I can ejaculate after some time, I've never experienced an orgasm. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm sorry you're experiencing this discomfort. It sounds like you may be dealing with a combination of nerve sensitivity or damage, possibly related to neuropathy or another underlying issue. I recommend seeing a urologist or a neurologist to properly evaluate your symptoms and determine the best course of treatment.
